Please delete. Yes, I know it has become near impossible to delete non-notable webcomic spam articles these days, but these things still fail our content policies and prevent us from reaching our goal of creating a useful encyclopedia. Here we have a comic called Joe which makes no claim of any sort of historical impact or significance. It also has no citations to non-trivial reputable sources. Or any sources whatsoever. So, it fails pretty much every content policy and guideline we have. But it's a webcomic, and it exists, so here we are so we can debate whether this actually belongs in an encyclopedia. For what it's worth, I wasted far too much of my life trying to research this comic at my library. I found nothing to do with this comic, although there is a Dustin Saxton who has just opened a skateboard shop called California Dreams on Business 65 in Hollister, a Dustin Saxton grade nine who won a top Junior High Achiever award, and a Kurt Harder who had some of his motorcycles stolen. Even if any of these are the same people that make this comic, these types of trivial newspaper mentions do not give a webcomic encyclopedic notability.
