Originally known as "Tom P. '79", Tom has been a
Doom Patrol member since it's official conception as
an organization way back in 1988. Having been friends with,
and later working with, co-founder Jeff the Joker
since December of 1973 Tom, due to prior commitments such
as girlfriends has not always attended all of
our gatherings, yet has nevertheless served in a more than
full capacity within the group.
Originally forming half of the In Search
of... team, he and Jeff made audio recordings of
the now historic 16 episodes of "In Search of...Denise
and Lorraine Olmo" (two sisters that he and Jeff were
infatuated with for years, who had moved) from December 16,
1978 to June of 1979. They finally "found" Denise and
Lorraine during episode #8, but continued their trek for
the remaining eight episodes. Later they branched out to
include "In Search of...Irish Dogs" and "In
Search of...The Supernatural."
Tom went on to
co-form the band Abdulla and the Gang with Jeff and
Joey Tribuzio in the winter of 1979-80. Playing numerous
talent shows, and concerts to both popular, and critical,
acclaim Tom led the band until it's breakup in 1986.
In 1987 he formed Acid Rain and toured with
them until mid 1992. Leaving the band to concentrate on
school Tom graduated in June of 1996 with a BA in
psychology. Tom now serves as resident psychoanalyst of the
group, and often offers his Jungian/Freudian analysis of
any situation that occurs within the organization, whether
it is wanted or not. (Here he is seen helping Jimmy
discover the true nature of his Electra complexes.) Tom
vows to tackle the rest of the group as this century
progresses.
