Stereotypes: Axe Cop creator's SECRET ATTACK?

Update: Ethan issued a public apology. More info and repost here.

Or: OH JOHN RINGO ETHAN NICOLE NO

Near the beginning of this year, the web comic Axe Cop took the Interwebs by storm. It was a pretty inventive premise. Professional comic book artist Ethan Nicolle, age 29, would illustrate a comic written by his younger brother, Malachai.

The hook?

If I boycotted every artist or author who ever said or did something offensive outside of their medium (forum comments, TV appearances, newspaper interviews, etc.), I'd be boycotting everything. If something offensive is in the medium itself, I just focus on the good parts and skip over it. Marilyn Manson says a lot more offensive things in interviews than he does in his music. Beautiful People, for example. Not offensive in and of itself, especially without the video. 50% of South Park offends me, but I like things like the Loch Ness Monster bit, Chef's explanation of anal probing, and "wow, this really does feel like monster intestines!" With a comic, you can just skip over the panel or read a different issue, or just skip over it and read another comic
