The series has been through several incarnations through the years, the first of which appeared in the Suburban High Life comic books published by Slave Labor in the late 1980s.

This periodically generates "reality discontinuities", where reality breaks down. These are (generally) resolved by reality engineers.Tomorrow, Tom. This Modern World. Self-Syndicated, 1988.
