While this post is a bit later than usual, hopefully you guys have seen my notes under the strips saying that, yes, we are doing another Guest Strippin’ Xmas this year… provided I didn’t wait too long to tell you about it and we get enough entries!
The rules are pretty standard at this point, and you’ll find them below. This has been a good year for SF, I think, with a number of long time storylines having come to a head and some big new ones just launched. And it’s all leading to… something exceedingly cool. I saw you all fall in love with new characters (Atomic Fly) and out of love with old ones (Jerry) and I hope the fun and excitement I’ve been seeing will translate to some fun Guest Strips. You guys always crack me up with your takes on these characters and I hope you’ll just go as wild as you always do.
If you’d like to submit, here’s the specs and what you need to know:
• Submissions can be in either strip or page format. Valhalla years or SuperFogeys Origins–it’s up to you! (Just bear in mind that your stories won’t be canon.)
• Funny is good.
• Strips will run at 900 pixels across. Please send that size or larger. I can always scale down, but never up.
• Spy Gal naked is bad.
• Theme is up to you. We usually get some great Christmas-themed strips and I love that, but you can really do what want so long as it stays PG-appropriate. If you’re looking for a theme, how about this: The Fogeys as characters from pop and geek culture. For some reason, I really want to see that this year.
• Please include “SuperFogeys (copyright symbol) 2013 Brock Heasley” underneath the strip.
• email to: bwhheasley (at) gmail.com
• Include your name, name of your comic (if you have one) and website url (if you have one) and whatever biographical information you’d like to see posted with your strip. Promoting you is my thank you, so please make sure I have my facts straight!
• Deadline is Dec. 20th
Have at it, folks! Please ask any questions you have in the comments below.
Thanks!
That does it. Zurida’s getting a hug.
Although I think she is only going to receive a skull crack from Tangerine…
I bet if Zurida got one, good hug she’d turn to good.
Also, Pollyanna lives.

Made me laugh.
There has to be some bits of the former fun Star Maiden left inside her mind….right ?
We’ve seen the evidence of that already. So… yes!
Brain overload, she’s going to revert back to Star Maiden.
yes! And I love it!
Maybe because I just watched White Christmas, but I suddenly pictured Zurida and Star Maiden suddenly doing the song and dance song Sisters from that movie.
And now I must go YouTube that song.
I think it would be more like the drag version from Crosby and Kaye!
To quote Dr Rocket’s previous assessment of Zurida: “You don’t really get your due for how truly amazing you are, do you?” We’ve seen her bully, terrorize and plot diabolically, but I think this is the first time we’ve seen her engage in direct psychological manipulation. She’s got the full super villain skill set perfected. What else could one expect of the Mistress of Worlds? Her face in panel two just oozes sincerity. I am always blown away by Marc’s skill with expressions. It also reminds me of an old bit that Louie Anderson used to do, about how if you could pick your family you’d probably still make a mistake. Then again, trading in Daddy Bezuel for Zurida as a sister might actually be a step up in Dark/Star Maiden’s case.
This comic would just not be the same without Marc’s facility with facial expressions. I describe facial expressions more than any other element in my scripts and sometimes I ask Marc to draw two or three emotions on one face and he always, ALWAYS rises to the challenge. It’s amazing.
