A sci-fi story set on a future colonized Mars, THB chronicles the adventures of teenage girl HR Watson and THB, her super-powered bodyguard.THB is a "Super-Mek" whose name stands for "Tri-Hydro Bi-oxygenate," a fictional molecule
created by Pope. When un-activated, THB resembles a small rubber ball
carried around by HR Watson; when activated with water, THB expands to
take the form of a purple, seven-foot (215 cm) tall, super-powered
humanoid resembling a genie.HR is the daughter of wealthy robot manufacturer Clovis Watson, and lives with him in Velo City while attending classes at the Academy of Advanced Disciplines.In the series' main storyline, HR's father makes plans to move
his business outside the taxable boundaries of V-City and mine the
asteroid belt, assisted by his bodyguard and right-hand man Mister McHaine.
This attracts the attention of the ruling Buranchist Party, or
"Bugfaces." The Bugfaces attempt to take HR in for questioning by
sending a series of robot agents to capture her; one robot agent is
delivered to her home disguised as a Steinway piano.

Following a series of wild chases, HR flees with THB across the
desert to Plutonium City — hiding out with her older step-brother Percy and members of a popular musical group, the Complex Passions. She continues to evade capture while falling for the band's lead clarinetist, The Jiggler. She is assisted from afar by her best friend Lollie Perducci, daughter of a famous opera singer, and Lollie's intelligent pet Mister Pig-Dog.

Pope has also written and drawn numerous THB short
stories, many of them chronicling the comic misadventures of HR and
Lollie, as well as stand-alone tales featuring one-off characters set in
other parts of the THB universe.
