BELOW AVERAGE

High school. It's a daunting place, especially when you're at the bottom of the social ladder... where we find four friends trying to survive their final days of senior year. Join Marina, Maddison, Amy and Olivia as they embrace adolescence with a refreshing and humourous approach to daily life.

BELOW AVERAGE is a webcomic created by cartoonist Nicholas Cleaver in mid-2010. It follows the day-to-day adventures of four not-so average teenagers: Marina, an inventor suffering with obsessive-compulsive disorder; Maddison, a blissfully ignorant foodaholic; Amy, a sarky game fanatic; and Olivia, the kookiest member of the group. The comic's primary theme is humour, and focuses largely on friendship, school and the four girls' incompatibility with established society.

Fuelled by Friends, Futurama and Disney films, Nic has written over 700 strips for the series and plans to live out the rest of his life illustrating them all. It's his sole ambition to turn BELOW AVERAGE into an animated sitcom, and he won't rest until his dream becomes a reality!
