First Clip From Fox's AXE COP, Based On A Comic Created By A 5-Year-Old
Nick Offerman, better known as Ron Swanson of NBC's comedy "Parks and Recreation," is voicing Axe Cop. Hit the jump to hear his unmistakable voice in this "Axe Cop" test clip, that features some of the best parts from the popular comic book.
In April, Fox ordered six fifteen-minute episodes of Axe Cop, a show that will air on their new late-night Saturday animation block. "Axe Cop" was created by two brothers, with an age gap of two decades. One is a professional artist, 30-year-old Ethan Nicolle, and the other is7-year-old, Malachai. As I mentioned in the title Malachai was only 5 years-old when he began fueling Ethan's artwork with his youthful imagination.
The AXE COP saga began on a Christmas visit to see my family. My Father, a man with very healthy loins, has managed to produce a variety of children, ranging from me, a 29 year old comic book artist, to my 5 year old brother Malachai, a 5 year old boy genius, with four other siblings in between. During the visit Malchai was running around with his toy fireman axe and he said he was playing "Axe Cop." He asked me to play with him, and I asked what my weapon was... so he brought me a toy flute (actually a recorder). I told him I would rather be Axe Cop then Flute Cop, and he seemed just fine with being Flute Cop. The story that followed became more and more brilliant, until I couldn't contain myself and I had to draw the whole thing into a one page comic. From there the saga continued, and over the course of my week-long visit we cranked out the first four episodes of AXE COP.
