Boxcar Comics is a webcomic collective. It was founded in 2005 by Zach Miller, the author of Joe and Monkey, with 12 members. Soon after, Mitch Clem and Tom Brazelton, the authors of Nothing Nice To Say and Theater Hopper, respectively, left the Dayfree Press syndicate to join Boxcar.
Boxcar gets its name from the Jawbreaker song of the same title, on the suggestion of Mitch Clem, a friend of Miller and a great fan of Jawbreaker.
