About Me

THOR THUNDERHORN: God of Horn Thunder. Thursday is Thorsday.Son of Hal and Jess, he's the famous Half-Lett God with Horn, the thickly moustached Lord of Trumpeted Thunderstorms. He rides through the storm clouds in a chariot powered by electrons and throws calls from his trumpet STRAD all over the place to create sonic lightning. Ta Da Doo Wah Ta Ta Ka Doo.As perhaps you might expect, he's not terribly bright and Tim was always leading him astray. But they were firm friends and THOR was always ready to riff his enemies with the business end of his horn.Married to Doridear, he's also been known to have a fling with the Giantess Doris, with whom he produced the equally fearsome Ben and Pete. His killer cat is Sophie. If you ever meet THOR be advised to stay on his good side and provide him with lager.
