I’ve been meaning to post about Axe Cop for weeks now. This comic is the fantastic result of a 29 year old artist illustrating a story told by his five year old brother.

I sat down one day and read each panel until I had completed the whole series thus far…what an incredible experience. I was laughing out loud, completely immersed in the pure absurdity of childhood imagination. I remembered what it was like to make up those stories as a young child, when nothing was off limits. The warm nostalgia was such a pleasant bonus surprise.

It is impossible to choose panels or captions that adequately express the awesomeness of Axe Cop. You just have to witness the fabulous jumping connections and surreality of the young mind.

You’ll see quotes like:

Bad Santa hurt people’s ears by playing his guitar and the Evil Flying Book bit people in the head.

Nobody lives on the moon. They would die. They live inside it. Right in the middle. Like Earth, it has grass, water, rivers and all animals except circus animals.

Fire Slicer’s magic move was called Fire Dumptruck, which involved scooping bad guys into a truck full of fire.

So they drove their mutant Bug Truck to the beach. After exploding the Mutant Bug Truck, Fire Slicer forced a ninja mechanic to fix the truck, then stabbed him in the brain with his fire sword and took it.

And panels like this…

For more fun, there is a whole Ask Axe Cop section, featuring questions from readers.

This may be my favorite comic of all time.
