Axe Cop

Sai · Jun 1, 2010

Axe Cop is so awesome, it deserves a thread of it's own. Axe Cop is a webcomic done by two-brothers: Ethan Nicolle, the older brother, draws it, while Malachi, who's five, comes up with the story. It follows a hero named Axe Cop who, along with his teammates Avocado Solider, Sockarang, and dinosaur Wexter, fights bad guys. It is really, really funny and has a weird kind of internal logic that becomes clearer the more you read. Aside from the main storyline, there's also 'Ask Axe Cop', where people can send in questions. For example:

It's a fun ride! The characters are mental as anything. I have my suspicions about the age thing but I shall keep them to myself!

I've read a few of these and laughed.

Y'know, there's some lesson here about telling a good story that writers of all ages can learn from this 5 year old kid. For the life of me, I'm never gonna figure it out, but it's there somewhere.

For sure. Like, planting in details that won't become important than later. For example, I LOLed at Uni-Man's first line ("I lost my baby.") knowing that eventually this would lead to a story where Uni-Man and Uni-Baby get reunited. It's in no way a subtle set-up, but I don't think subtlety is the goal.

Well, it's like anything else by a 5-year-old, I guess. It's really funny at first, but after a while it just gets old and tiresome.
