What is Joey Cheats Death?
Joey Cheats Death is the story of Joey, who cheats Death. After finding a translated copy of the Necronomicon at a used bookstore, Joey learned of the ancient ways of out witting Death, and not a moment too soon. When Death came to claim Joey’s mortal soul, he challenged Death to a game of riddles. Death was flabbergasted. Having never been challenged, Death was without prepared riddles. Because Death cannot unbind himself from a soul until there is resolution, Death was forced to move in with Joey and become his roommate. Hilarity then ensued.
About David (Writer/Penciler)
My name is David Pemberton. I attended University in Cleveland, TN, where I achieved a degree in English Writing with a minor in Cursive. Just after having been accepted to Savannah College of Art and Design for a partially funded MFA, I suffered a short (yet violent) quarter-life crisis. In the wake of said destruction, I opted for a real deal adult job working at Habitat for Humanity in the Family Services department. I started drinking lots of gin. Eventually work proved itself to be a volatile mix of depressing and boring, so to pass the time I began reading web comics. XKCD, Dr. McNinja, Hark! A Vagrant, these were the close friends who held my hands through the murky waters of working nine to five. Mimicry is the highest form of flattery, they say. All you webcomicteirs, consider yourselves flattered. Contact him at Dpembe01(at)gmail(dot)com
About James (Everything else)
What can you say about a guy who has no idea how he got involved in a web comic. Well, I’m a web designer who currently lives in Cleveland, TN. My hobbies include designing websites, talking about web design, thinking about websites I would like to design, and telling people how their ideas would make a great website. Actually, now that I think about it, that last one is how I got involved in this web comic.
When I’m not pursuing my hobby, I’m leading a community of faith known as The Exchange or deciding how to make my hobby a more regular career. If you need a website let me know. If you want it for free, contact one these designers.
