Kids say the darnest things. Most of the time we just laugh and shrug it off, but this guy took it one step further – to draw out the ideas that his little 5 year old brother came up with. That creation turned out to be Axe Cop, a story about a cop who one day picks up an axe and is determined to fight crime creating a team of superheros. Basically, the whole deal with Axe Cop works out like this
Malachai tells me a story, and I ask him questions to fill in the gaps. It’s just an exploration of 5 year old logic… so he says he is an Axe Cop and asks me if I want to join his team. I say yes, he says sign here. I ask him what we are going to do, he says fight dinosaurs. Also, I do not write word for word what he says, I translate it, paraphrase it, and sometimes make sense of it. If you wanted to get technical, you could say Malachai comes up with the stories, then I write it and illustrate it… but I just feel lame trying to cling to my writing credit next to a five year old. I like when comic credits are simple… this guy wrote it, this guy drew it.
It’s down-right humorous. Make sure you start with Episode 1 then read all the way through and check out the Ask Axe Cop segments for more LOL’s. Have to say, this 5 year old is more creative then most of the junk that is shown on television these days.

You keep posting things I already love, haha. We must have a similar sense of humor.
I WILL CHOP YOUR HEAD OFF!
This is hilarious!
“We should put these heads on sticks and put bombs in them.”
Just goes to show you’re right, they really are putting trash on regular TV if five-year-olds can devise ways to make people laugh in the space of a few minutes. The art’s great, too!
