Hi! I’m Joe Cabello! Thanks for checking out Robot. Black Belt. Champion!

Robot. Black Belt. Champion. is a 24-page all-ages comic — the first issue in a 6 part series full of action and laughs that ultimately explores the concepts of alienation, isolation, and bullying for young people. Inspired by my own childhood feeling, as well as my 10+ years working with preschool and elementary school students, Robot. Black Belt. Champion is an action-comedy that both kids and adults will find plenty of laughs in. Heavily inspired by anime and manga, think of it like Dragon Ball Z meets Wet Hot American Summer.

What’s it about?

Ace Alvarado is a Tae Kwon Doe black belt in 2nd grade at Human Middle School. Despite his accomplishments, he gets no respect from his classmates, but when an evil new exchange student shows up, he’s finally given the chance to show he’s the real deal – too bad the new exchange student is a giant robot, Gozo.  Unfortunately, they are both about to learn that they aren’t the strongest. Not even close.

Characters:

Ace Alvarado

Ace Alvarado, a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do… too bad nobody at his school cares. It doesn’t help that he’s never washed his gi and he’s a bit of a hothead.

Clemi Nova

Clemi, a fellow 2nd grade and loner. No one talks to her, and she doesn’t talk to anyone else. Even Ace considers her a weirdo loser. Unbeknownst to everyone in school, she’s a martial arts master.

Gozo, the Nightmare of Human Middle

Gozo, an eight foot tall robot whose insides are 90% weapon. He craves to be known as The Nightmare of Human Middle School to make up for the fact that he was bullied at Robot Middle School.

Who am I?

I am Joe Cabello, writer, comedian, and ninja (I’ll explain). I was the head writer for a teen sitcom called Five @ 305 on Primo TV for two seasons. I’ve also written for mobile games and popular Youtube channels like ItsAlexClark.

Oh, yeah. And the ninja thing. For the past ten years I’ve worked for an afterschool enrichment program that teaches martial arts to preschool to 3rd-grade students. My job basically entails me taking preschoolers on ninja adventures. Working with kids has developed a deep love for teaching kids positive lessons and most importantly making them laugh.
