As one who dove right into marriage with two kids, I can barely begin to relate to what goes into switching from the single life to being a dad and husband overnight.  Somehow I think Axe Cop can handle it, but it is the Water Queen I worry about.  Though, if she is anything like my wife (who I based her on visually) she’s up to the challenge.

This is the last page of Axe Cop Gets Married!   Next week I post a bonus page that lists those who helped contribute to my wedding campaign.  I know that for most of you this will not be a very exciting page, but these people deserve the mention.

Next week I will be announcing the next Axe Cop story, and we will begin posting new Ask Axe Cop episodes!  So stay tuned, there is a lot still yet to come.  Not to mention new episodes on FOX starting on Nov. 2, and that same weekend you can find me at Comikaze Expo in Anaheim!

We are so close to the end it’s crazy!  Next week I post the last page!

I think some of you thought Axe Cop would not actually get married in this story.  I think some of you are worried that Axe Cop being married will ruin him.  I think you’re wrong, but only time will tell.  Axe Cop is always funnier when he has a more sensible, responsible adult type character to keep him in check.  I think him having a wife is going to be great.  And now he also has a baby, named Sam.

In the meantime, how about you check out this 8-bit Axe Cop shirt daily deal over at WeLoveFine?

So, see you next week when it all ends!

Page 201 – Here We Are Gathered

This page was a project.  Most of you, if you requested to be drawn “at the wedding” are in this picture.  A few people were in previous pages.  Thanks again to everyone who helped me pull that off!

 

So, I’m sure it is obvious this story is almost over.  What’s next? Well, I’ve got plans.  I will be focusing on the next Dark Horse miniseries “The American Choppers” next, which will be print-only.  But I have two things to keep you busy for at least the next  22 or so weeks after this story ends, and possibly I take a short break between “seasons”.

 

First, I have drawn Ask Axe Cop  #100, but I have only posted up to #86, so I have 14 of those to post.  I will post one per week after this story ends.

 

Also, Tom Martin and his niece Charlotte proved themselves to be a great team on guest episodes, so we have decided to team up and let them do a full-length guest story.  If you need a refresher, here is one of the comics they did for us.  More on this project later!

 

And, as I have said, new episodes on FOX start Nov. 2!

 

Malachai and I are currently writing the new story and it’s awesome!  I’m excited to draw the insane stuff he’s coming up with.  We have created so much together I often forger how fun it is until I do it again.  Thanks for reading Axe Cop and making it possible for me to have such a cool job.

Chunk is a sound right?  I think it is.

Well, on we go.  I don’t know if I should feel shame or pride for the combination of dialog and sound effects on panels one and two, but I simply couldn’t help myself.

WeLoveFine.com has posted even more awesome Axe Cop shirts.  They just keep coming!

I recently got to see one of the new Axe Cop episodes coming to FOX in November, when we start showing new ones again.  It’s so good!

Also, I went to Rose City Comic Con this weekend in Portland, OR and had a great time.  Malachai came too, and so did Kailey, our colorist.  It was fun meeting so many people who really love our comics.

Well, more Thursday.  See you then!

Hey look a new page!  I don’t have a lot to say right now, it’s been a hectic day.  But you could go check out friend of Axe Cop Michael Regina’s new project on Kickstarter, Adamsville.

Page 184 – Bridal Party

I decided to use some of Malachai’s mispronunciations of bridal party terms, like “Bride’s Mates” and “Ring Berrier”.  Hopefully it is funny and not simply confusing.  Malachai is a seasoned Ring Berrier, he bore the ring at our brothers Noah’s and Isaiah’s weddings, and then he was ring berrier coach to my step son, Ezra at my wedding.

Alright Ezra, get it together.  THIS IS YOUR BIG MOMENT. -actually quote from Malachai at the wedding

 

And yes, Tom Nicolle is our dad.  The 72 year old father of kids ranging from me to Malachai.  If you have ever met my Dad he loves to talk about spiritual things, and so he will be officiating at Axe Cop’s wedding.

Well I am trying to get a lot done today, because tonight I am going to see Riff Trax Live: Starship Troopers!  Should be fun.
