Jack Edward Jackson (May 15, 1941 – June 8, 2006), better known by his pen name Jaxon, was an American cartoonist, illustrator, historian, and writer. He co-founded Rip Off Press, and many consider him to be the first underground comix artist, due to his most well known comic strip God Nose.
Jackson was born in 1941 in Pandora, Texas. He majored in accounting at the University of Texas and was a staffer for its Texas Ranger humor magazine, until he and others were fired over what he called "a petty censorship violation".
In 1964, Jackson self-published the one-shot God Nose, which is considered by many to be the first underground comic. He moved to San Francisco in 1966, where he became art director of the dance poster division of Family Dog. In 1969, he co-founded Rip Off Press, one of the first independent publishers of underground comix, with three other Texas transplants, Gilbert Shelton, Fred Todd, and Dave Moriaty. Despite this, most of his underground comics work (heavily influenced by EC Comics) was published by Last Gasp.
Jaxon, known as Jack Edward Jackson, is a writer.

I fought my way to jaxon, been heavy on my mind
I found you alone there, somehow forcing a smile
I've been known to act out
I've been kind to let you down
We forgot about the hardest things on a,
On a walk downtown
And I don't care
No I don't mind if you need me to
Carry the weight, carry it with me
Until you find yourself, you're on your own
To carry the weight, to carry it with you
Until you find yourself, and you're in my arms
You're in my arms
The wind is what brought me here
And it was you who made me stay
I can't stop myself from wondering
What if that storm never came, no
And I don't care
No I don't mind if you need me to
Carry the weight, carry it with me
Until you find yourself, you're on your own
To carry the weight, to carry it with you
Until you find yourself, and you're in my arms
So will you wait for me, I changed so you could see
This is forever, I'm not mistaken
This emptiness in me, the boy that used to be someone else
And I don't care, No I don't care
Carry the weight, carry it with me
Until you find yourself, you're on your own
To carry the weight, to carry it with you
Until you find yourself, and you're in my arms
Carry the weight, carry it with me
Until you find yourself, you're on your own
To carry the weight, to carry it with you
