ratings ="Theater Hopper" (or simply TH) is a
webcomic based on a movie fan (Tom), his wife (Cami), and their friends. It debuted August 5th, 2002 and is written and drawn byTom Brazelton . In 2003, Theater Hopper became a member of theDayfree Press Webcomics Network, but in 2005, moved to theBoxcar Comics collective. Two book collections have been released, "Theater Hopper: Year One" and "Theater Hopper: Year Two".Humor Style
The majority of Theater Hopper strips lean towards the gag-a-day style of joke telling, usually either focusing on a specific movie or set of upcoming releases, or making an all out parody of a classic film. During the slow release times however, the strip has been known to shift gears and allow a longer more involved story to unfold, such as the introduction of the character Charlie or the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Jimmy losing his job.

The schedule of Theater Hopper is the common webcomic schedule of Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week. Since its creation, Brazelton has usually ensured a strip is up every one of these days, although occasionally with guest comics from comic creator peers such as
Mitch Clem ,Ryan Sias , Joe Dunn and others.Starting on April 23, 2007, Brazelton announced that the site would go through a major change. Comics would only be updated on Wednesdays, with sketches rounding out the remaining schedule days. His life, job, and new family were the reasons for the change. He also planned to round out the changes with movie reviews, until his son grows a little older.
However, as of late, not only has Brazelton been fulfilling his Monday, Wednesday, and Friday webcomic updates, but he has also been posting occasional movie reviews in addition to the standard three comics a week.
