This and the next three WebSpace Pages were intended for Chapter 3 proper, but I couldn’t fit them in and still make the big Third Man reveal be #100–which was important to me. The Captain isn’t the most popular SuperFogey, but he is the most important. All the clues to why are here in his [...]

Had a lot of fun drawing Spy Gal in her civvies. Just makes sense to me that she’d be into firearms. Originally, her profile pic was completely different. She was leaning on a pillow and it was nice, but…I hated it. So I’ve switched it out for the one you see above. Matches the other [...]

That profile pic of Jerry is my most favorite drawing of him that I’ve done. It just captures him so perfectly. The first mission of the Society of Heroes is a tale I want to tell. It should appear as a backup story in a future SuperFogeys book. Watch for that.

The Space Pig’s a minister. Why not? I did it as a setup for something later in the chapter, but I don’t think anyone ever made the connection. I debated for a long time whether “High on the Hog” was blasphemous. I guess I decided it wasn’t!

Full disclosure: I’m not a gambler. In fact, it’s very much against my personal, religious beliefs to gamble. Still, the idea popped into my head for these characters and I had to do it. Besides, I know the Fogeys are going to Vegas one day. Guess who they’re gonna find there?
