AXE COP is the most awesome thing we’ve seen on the internest in years.
Imagine Calvin as the author of a comic strip, and this is what you get. Created and written by a 5 year old, his 29 year old cartoonist brother puts it into action in glorious black and white.
Ya gotta read it from the beginning, Episode 1. (Episode 0 comes later.) Unfortunately the website is slow to load, and has some other quirks about it, but it’s worth the time.
Superhero Sockarang is my personal favorite.
He shows up in Episode 5:
“Sockarang came to a try out when Axe Cop was preparing to go on a mission to fight Bad Santa and the Evil Flying Book. Sockarang has socks for arms, and he can shoot them out and they return to him like boomerangs. In his fight with Bad Santa he got some of Bad Santa’s blood on him and he got Bad Santa powers, which he used for good.”

That is way cool.
BTW, it’s still my birthday for another hour or so. Stop over for that Jonny Lang tune and some other links worth investigating.

cbull– Correction noted. Instead of C-h, I’ll change it to “…from one A-h to another.” =)
