Northwest Comix Collective | 01

The Northwest Comix Collective (a bizarre version of The Eltingville Club) consists of 4 adults:
Aaron Winkleman (leader)
James Prolongo
Rodney Crabbe
Jay "Jaybird" Haynes

They are a club of independent comic book artists, working to sell their underground art and critiquing superhero comics, although Aaron is secretly a Marvel and DC fan. They get stressed and angry when they see their art isn't sold or valued as they believe it should be. They like to drink beer, smoke, and do drugs under the guise of "finding inspiration."

Jaybird is quite similar to his Eltingville Club counterpart, Joshua "Josh" Levy. Compared to Josh, Jaybird has a small green mohawk, round sunglasses that cover his eyes, a rounder nose, and an earring in his right ear. He is also the fattest of the four club members. He wears a black shirt with a plaid flannel shirt over it, followed by a green jacket over the flannel, camouflage pants, and black boots.

Jaybird is often teased about his weight, but instead of making him feel bad, he just ignores it and gets defensive.

When it comes to love, Jaybird is romantic in the privacy of his relationship, although he shows some affection in public, he is gentler when it's just the two of them alone.

Rodney looks quite similar to his Eltingville Club partner, Pete DiNunzio. Compared to Pete, Rodney has much longer reddish-orange hair (shaved on the sides), a larger nose, a small goatee, thinner eyebrows, and a stubble on his cheeks and a longer beard on his chin. He wears a black T-shirt with a blue sweatshirt over it, similar to Pete's, but also a backwards red baseball cap, ripped blue jeans, and black shoes.

Compared to his friends, Rodney is the most "nice" of the four. He tries to stay out of trouble and separate his friends when they start fighting, but if they mess with him, he doesn't hesitate for a second to get defensive, insulting and hitting if necessary.

With his partner he is kind and charismatic, trying to keep his loved one optimistic and see them with a smile, but he will also be the shoulder they can lean on for comfort or refuge

James is quite similar to his Eltingville Club counterpart, Jerry Stokes Jr. Compared to Jerry, he has slightly thicker blond hair, a more pointed nose, and three piercings (one in his left eyebrow and two in his left ear). He wears a short-sleeved green shirt with a black T-shirt over it, blue jeans, and brown shoes. Like Jerry, James's eyes are usually drawn closed or as simple slits, although there are exceptions in some panels.

James is a serious guy who calls himself a "Genius," believing himself superior to his friends. He pretends to be a mysterious guy who "isn't interested in anything."

In a relationship, James isn't the affectionate type, but he tries to be close to his partner and spend time with them. He would talk to them about his thoughts, show them his art, and wouldn't have a problem sharing a cigarette with his boyfriend/girlfriend.

Aaron is impulsive and has a volatile temper; he's usually serious and claims his taste is impeccable. He tries to remain calm and composed most of the time to save face and feed his ego, but in frightening situations, he panics and freezes. Aaron is very self-centered and can become violent if pushed too far. He also judges other people's tastes and appearances and gets nervous when confronted directly.

Aaron looks quite similar to his Eltingville Club counterpart, Bill Dickey. Compared to Bill, Aaron has short brown hair (though somewhat better groomed), brown eyes, a pointed nose, and round glasses. He wears a white shirt with a black vest, straight-leg trousers, and black Converse sneakers.

Regarding his partner, Aaron is loving, attentive, protective, caring, and kind to his girlfriend/boyfriend. He always offers to support and help in any way he can and allows himself to be sensitive in front of his partner.
