About Me

Alchemical immortal, provocateur, pontificator, pulpit-pounder, novelist, 3-time Tour de France winner, and all-around good guy, P. Tuttle Starr left his sizable estate in central Tajima to his pet Canadian before the life-changing neurosurgery that fused his mind with a transcendent artificial intelligence derived from a foulmouthed Aibo named Murray. Immediately after the procedure, ol’ P. Tuttle realized that his only recourse would be to marry his longtime consort and foil, Julia the Bold, and move to Hawai’i to pursue a Master’s degree in Japanese Literature. After negotiations with the shadowy Hawai’ian underworld monarch known as “King Kona” that carried on long into the night, Mr. Starr was finally allowed to reside at an undisclosed location on the island of O’ahu. There are a variety of obscure provisions governing his visa to operate in and around the Hawai’ian archipelago, among the more interesting of which was his promise never to eat raw penguin.

Life as a mild-mannered grad student at the Undisclosed Location has its perks — chiefly, a centrally-located penthouse apartment with a stunning view and improbably nice weather year-round (barring the odd three-day bout of gale-force winds and driving rain). From this base of operations, P. Tuttle oversees the vast and inscrutable machinery of the Starr empire — an enterprise, which, strangely, involves a lot of archaic verb conjugations, paper writing, theorizing, and general academic tail-chasery.

In his copious hours of leisure, Mr. Starr enjoys a variety of pastimes, including cycling, music composition and performance, video games, and the occasional round of grizzly bear wrestling, although he still finds his chief form of recreation in lengthy duels of wit with his roommate, the fiendishly brilliant Dr. Apocalypse, in the balance of which hangs the well-being of all humanity.

He knows he hasn’t been doing so well lately vis-a-vis seeing to that same well-being, but hey — grad school.
