A Old BOTL hits the big time

altbiers · 04-24-2012, 02:01 PM

Many years ago, on another web page, we had an excellent artist named Eef. Eff made a lot of art work of us with our cigars and crazy hobbies while trying to make a living doing comics.

In 2010, he drew a comic his 5 year old brother described and an online series was born. Some of you may have heard of Axe Cop.

Today, Eef aka Ethan signed a deal with Fox for Axe Cop to become a test cartoon. It has been fun to watch his career grow, and it is going to be even more amazing to watch his fame in the next year.

If you look around the asylum, you can still see a few of the avatars he did for some folks.

Wow, so cool to see you around! I still carry the lighter you sent and have the coin (my son has it in his small collection of cool stuff). Are you ever in the Norfolk area? or was that Navy doc. Where is he these days?

Sorry I was mia for 6 years, but life was brutal.
