Joe Pi Says...
It's Joe Pi--one of my favorite characters from the comic book series, "Top 10", by Alan Moore, Gene Ha, and Zander Cannon. The premise of "Top 10" is that it is like "Hill Street Blues" in which everyone in the population has super-powers. Joe Pi is a transfer from Turingville and has to deal with discrimination within the precinct, stereotypes, etc. Given the humor and intelligence of the character, Joe Pi quickly became one of my favorite characters!
HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS of Joe Pi's first appearance in "Top 10" #11, giving you a flavor of what makes him so great.
Unfortunately, I thought of this a few hours too late to finish it before midnight on March 14, 2016. However, when I put the last, finishing touch on the cartoon, I checked the clock on the corner of my computer screen; it was March 15, 2016, at 3:14am (CST). Perfect!
