Carson is dissatisfied, wishing he could be a super sidekick and not just an officer of the law anymore. New faces Lt. Smith and Officer Vern shake up the squad.

Tales of the 8th Grade Nothing – Webcomic – Artist/Writer – Webcomic – 2009 – 2011 (hiatus)
The Jock. The Cheerleader. The Popular Girls. Gym Class. Band Nerds. Riding the bus. For those who remember Middle School, and those who currently still reside between grades 6-8 know this: Middle School is hell. Jason Dobbins is in his final year of Middle School, he is now an 8th grader, and this is his time to shine… if only he knew how. Jason with the help of his best friend CJ maneuvers unrequited love, bullies, dodge-ball, good grades and popularity in his final year of middle school.
Incorporating music with almost every comic strip through the eyes of the lead protagonist, Tales of the 8th Grade Nothing is half-romance, half-coming-of-age-story, as Jason Dobbins unravels his final year of Middle School. Tales of the 8th Grade Nothing is a webcomic for those who remember the hells of middle school, but also for those who perhaps need to be reminded that sometimes all it takes is just one person to believe in you, and that also perhaps, true happiness leads to those who believe in themselves.
