War Rocket Ajax chops into your life this week as we chat with Axe Cop co-creator and artist Ethan Nicolle! We discuss getting into the mindset of a six-year-old, comics and money, violence, deadlines, what to tell a concerned mom who disapproves of a story all about poop. Also: We get into it with a hater who challenges our comedy knowledge. We don’t take it well. Plus: A stunning account of how a bar of South Carolinian wrestling fans took the news of Osama bin Laden’s death, in case you were wondering.

Awesome show guys. Hey, do you think you will ever have Brandon Graham (of King City, Escalator, and Multiple Warheads) as a guest one day.
If not, what wrong with you?
Great interview! Maybe next time, you can get Malachai on as a guest!
Chris, I saw this year’s WrestleMania at a sports bar in SC and there were no less than two grown mess (over 25 at least) in full John Cena garb with replica belts as well. The south is a strange place when it comes to wrestling.
Which sports bar? We might’ve been at the same one!
Oh man, it is a WWE Blast Zone location…I have to check. I may have had a few drinks that night
Does Bailey’s sound correct?
So.. Is Flashpoint Batman Geoff Johns’ way to lure Chris Sims’ heart from Grant Morrison? He is Batman with a Punisher origin. How do you compare Flashpoint Batman to Dark Claw?
Y’know, a grown-up Richie Rich analogue would make a pretty awesome Batman villain.
Holy buckets, we were totally at the same bar!
