506 – Disappearing Act
May 22nd, 2013

I’m gonna be honest with you guys–I did not plan on introducing this story thread in this chapter. I mean, there’s an alien invasion going on. How many more threats do the Fogeys need to deal with?

This isn’t the same as saying this is an unplanned story. What Money Man is talking about is something I’ve had in mind for a quite a while, but I always saw it as something that would come much later. It came up now for the most basic of storytelling reasons: you always wanna be surprising your readers and turning the heat up on your characters. This is the big heat. The one lurking behind everything. It’s all layers. Layers upon layers upon layers. My job is not to lose you and overcomplicate things. We’ll see how it goes.

About 10 strips left in this chapter. Good stuff ahead. Some of which you’ve been waiting to see for a long, LONG time.

Thanks for all the great discussion in the comments lately. You make it tough to stay one step ahead, but I enjoy the challenge!

Fan Art: Money Man by Gwen Patton!

by Brock Heasley on May 16th, 2013
Posted In: Uncategorized

If you’ve been following the comments on Money Man’s recent reappearance then you’ve probably noticed that people are drawing a line between Money Man’s new persona and Batman (along with a little Tony Stark mixed in for kicks). SuperFan Gwen Patton expressed her hope to see Money Man’s Secret Dollar Vault that houses all his gadgets and Armored Dollarcar. I love the image and told her so, but, of course, it’s unlikely you’ll ever see anything like that.

Well, not from me anyway. Gwen went ahead and rendered it up! Check these out:

Thanks, Gwen!

This was a slightly late entry to fan art week, but this Space Pig piece from Frank Jordan is too stellar to not share. Be sure and check out more of Frank’s work at his hilarious workplace webcomic, Company Man.

Thanks, Frank!

Fan Art: SuperFogeys 500 by Tom Racine!

by Brock Heasley on May 3rd, 2013
Posted In: Uncategorized

I can always count on Tom Racine to bring the funny. I’ve known Tom for years both online and in real life and I can tell you he’s one of the good ones. Through his podcast Tall Tale Radio, Tom has been a big promoter of cartooning and webcomicking and is doing the community a real service by getting out there some voices that would otherwise be hiding behind their pen and mouse. He surprised me with this fan art as his cartooning days are long behind him, but this thing is GREAT. And, like I said, FUNNY.

Thanks, Tom!

New Character: Violent Violet!

by Brock Heasley on May 1st, 2013
Posted In: Uncategorized

In the spirit of Fan Art Week, I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring and, instead of drawing a character you already know and love, I drew up a new character you’ll be seeing in SuperFogeys within the next year or so–Violent Violet.

Most of your are aware I’ve put my kids in the SF universe as characters. Dictator Tot is my oldest daughter, Elora, at 3 years of age. Cami is, well, Cami–completely true to who she was at 3 as well. This time, I went younger. Violent Violet is based on my youngest daughter, Violet, at her current age–2. Violet is spunky. She causes trouble and smiles wherever she goes, so for her SF equivalent it felt right to make her a terribly cute villain. When you see Violent Violet in all her glory, she’ll be accompanied by Dictator Tot, her sister both in real life and in the strip. That’s all the backstory you’re getting for now. Look forward to Marc’s version of the character at a later date!
