Axe Cop, about the adventures of Axe Cop and his sidekick Flute Cop/Dinosaur Soldier/Avocado Soldier/Uni-Avocado Soldier (etc.) is perhaps one of the greatest webcomics ever. Written by five year old Malachai Nicolle, it's drawn by his older brother, 29-year-old Eisner-nominated artist Ethan Nicolle (co-creator of Jesus Christ: In the Name of the Gun [previously]). Learn more about their writing process, and ask Axe Cop about his personal life or your own personal dilemmas.

Axe Cop became Axe Cop with Lemon.

I'm afraid this is something like a quintuple-post at this point.

This is definitely a double, because I first heard of Axe Cop here and I've since bought and received an Axe Cop t-shirt.

It's all about Wexter.

This is the most awesome thing ever. I am going to turn into a robot that shoots fire but the fire is made of tiny burning robots that follow you. I will turn into a robot because an alien uses an alien ray to try to make me into a killer robot to kill Axe Man because the alien is angry at the destruction of Evil World. But I will be a good robot because Axe Man will hit me with the axe and this will make my evil circuit break. And I will then kill the alien.

At the bottom of that neat post about their writing process, Ethan links to a fascinating blog post where he publicly disowns Jesus Christ: In The Name Of The Gun. It's a really interesting read about faith and maturity from someone who isn't claiming to have any answers but is trying to figure out what's right for him.

There are two kinds of people:

1. People who like Axe Cop
2. Hitler

From alasdair's link: "And I don't passionately hold any position someone might extract from the Jesus comic. I don't think that God and Jesus are separate. I do not think angels are gay, or that God is the floating head of Marlon Brando either. The thing is, when you are careless with something, you communicate that you do not care about it. This could not be further from the truth about me... I care deeply for Christianity."

Well color me Hitler. It's very random... but that's about all. Maybe it's just one of those things better experienced with friends.

To be honest, Ethan kind of sounds like a dick. From that blog about the jesus comic:

... I was amazed how few people actually challenged me on it. I want to thank those who did, without chastising those who didn't. I can't, I told you not to. I'm beginning to sound like a woman... "you should have done what I told you not to do!"

Grar.

Dammit. I didn't think about the fact that I wasn't linking to the main URL, and that would mean it wouldn't show up as a double. I'll flag it.

If by 'friends' you mean "friends", then yes, it is better experienced with '"friends"'.

What do the quotes do to the meaning of the word? I'm confused.

Is that "Jesus Christ: In the Name of the Gun " strip like an Xtian trying to get in on the fun that all of the Jews are having with Inglorious Basterds?
