The Adventures of Nick Quick and Joe Slow (Patreon)

A very disturbed 5th grader made this comic a long time ago.

I was inspired by my friendship with the new kid at school, Joe Burns.

I’m horrified by the violence, but impressed with the consciousness-transferrence. I think the lady at the end was a teacher I did not care for.

True story: Right before he moved to our school, Joe discovered a human skeleton in the woods behind his house.

Joe raised my awareness of rock and roll, and we bonded over our loud, often-angry dads. At that stage of my life, I was committed to straight A’s and being a teacher-pleaser. And yet, storytelling was a gateway to another side of myself.
