Hello everyone I’m Eric Merritt. When I comment on the SuperFogeys I’m SUTBEric and I draw the new webcomic Steer Valley. I’d chat it up more but let’s talk about why you know I exist: this strip right here! First I apologize to fans of the characters I didn’t represent but the interactions between Klein/Jerry/Third [...]
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the person scheduled to do the Chapter 11 Recap was unable to complete the project. However, tomorrow the Recaps will wrap up in fine style with Chapter 12, “Jackpot!” Also unfortunate: I’m battling a bad case of food poisoning and that’s why I haven’t been very present on the site in the past [...]
Our 5th Anniversary Celebration concludes today with this stellar “recap” of Chapter 12, “Jackpot!” from Steve VanDyken. Steve had the unenviable task of recapping a chapter that isn’t even finished yet, but his take on how it could end is wonderfully dark and cynical–and all the funnier for it. You’ll see how close he gets [...]
Weather happens. And sometimes it knocks out Marc Lapierre’s power and he has no way to create the strip, much less post it. Apologies! Marc is one of the more dedicated artists I’ve ever worked with and believe you me–the strip would be done if it were possible. In fact, even the midst of this [...]
Those of you that celebrate it, I hope you had a great Christmas. I hope I did too. I wrote this 5 days ago! Welcome to Guest Strippin’ Xmas! Today and for the next three days I’ll be featuring strips from SuperFans like you who have banded together to give Marc and I a bit [...]
Guest Strippin’ Xmas continues! This one comes from Dan White of Geotrackers. Thanks, Dan!
Guest Strippin’ Xmas Continues! This one comes from longtime guest stripper, Crystal Murphy. Great callback to SF Chapter One. Thanks, Crystal!
Guest Strippin’ Xmas concludes with Marjorie Rishel of Draconis Wicked! Marjorie always does a great job picking some piece of SuperFogeys history and riffing on it and this is no exception. Thanks, Marjorie! Marc and I are back on Monday, Jan. 2. See you in the New Year!
There’s just one week of this hiatus left! Starting today and through Friday–Guest Strips! Today I bring you this deep dive into arcane continuity from Gwen Patton. Gwen is riffing off of something revealed not too long ago–namely that there are Space Monkey’s and their poo has a strange property that can turn human beings [...]
Crystal Murphy is one of the very best of the SuperFans. She’s contributed many guest strips in the past and they’re always some of my favorites. This page is just a cover to a three page, end-of-summer story you’ll be enjoying from Wednesday to Friday. Then, on October 1st, HIATUS OVER. Don’t forget to check [...]
Crystal Murphy always goes the extra mile. This is a four part guest strip. See parts three and four tomorrow and Friday! Hiatus ends on October 1st.
Crystal Murphy is back again! Last part of “Summer Fun” hits tomorrow. Hiatus is over on October 1st!
Big thanks to Crystal Murphy for going above and beyond and turning out this very fun story. She and Gwen Patton really kept this week for being a boring slog. Nice job, both of you! See you back here on Monday with the beginning of Chapter 15 – Invasion, Part Two: Inaction Heroes No More!
This week is the big launch of the Kickstarter Campaign for the SuperFogeys Sourcebook and Adventure Game. Follow this link to check out the campaign, and here’s my blog post on the whole thing with details on how this whole thing got started and what it means for SuperFogeys fans. This is big and it’s [...]
Hi there. Can we talk for a second? Cool. It’s funny. The sixth anniversary of the SuperFogeys flew by last month and I barely noticed it. I have so much fun working on the strip that I forget about stuff like that. Just creating the SuperFogeys is its own reward, one I’m only too happy [...]
Hey all, Well, it’s been a week since my last “Call to Arms” and in that time the needle on the SuperFogeys Sourcebook & Adventure Game Kickstarter has been moved in a big way! As of this writing, we’re 123% funded with $3,678! That’s incredible. Many of you really stepped up over the last week [...]
Hey everybody, surprise update today! Marc got this sweet idea for a Fight Poster after reading some of the scripts for the strips that are just ahead. The Spy Gal-Zurida throw down promises to be EPIC. It all begins on Monday. I can’t wait to see what Marc does with it. And in case you [...]
Welcome to Guest Strippin’ Xmas 4! I’ve used and abused you guys lots this past year, so this Guest Strippin’ Xmas is gonna be a little lighter than usual. However, as a treat, look for a special piece by Marc Lapierre next week! Big thanks to Crystal Murphy for this very funny and seasonal strip. [...]
Hey, Merry Christmas everyone! Can you believe the above piece? I ask Marc very late last week if there was anything he might be able to do for Christmas and he came up with this in record time. I’m so over the moon in love with it. My wife is, too. She’s determined to get [...]
Happy New Year, everybody! As some of you may have noticed, guest strips were a little light this Christmas (thanks again, Crystal Murphy, for steppin’ up!). Marc did a beautiful piece to fill in the gap a bit, and now I thought I’d give it a try with my “guest” strip. How do you do [...]
Welcome to a bit of extra fun. Marc is taking a short vacation from the regular duties and in the mean time I’m taking them back with a short, four-part series that’s a little off from our regular programming. Mostly, these serve to give me a chance to illustrate some characters I’ve never drawn before [...]
Day 2 of Marc’s break means more extra stuff from just me! Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve drawn Zurida (and Raptor X, but he’s newer). I’ve inked her, but I’ve never pencilled her until now. It helped me to really appreciate the amazing design artist Rossana Bugini came up with. [...]
Week 2 of Marc’s break! I do art on these extra strips and Marc comes back next week! Miss the last regular update on the main story? Check it out right here. I couldn’t resist finding an excuse to draw Captain Spectacular. He’s still my favorite character to draw, even after all this time. I [...]
This is it! The end of our little Q&A side trip. I had a lot of fun making these, though, to be honest, they came about at a really crummy time in my schedule. I got pretty close to turning in this one a day late. This one is probably the meatiest of the four, [...]
Merry Christmas, everybody! (For real this time. If you missed our final regular strip of 2013, then you don’t know just how unmerry things got.) Last year, Marc kicked butt with this classic holiday piece. This year, he does himself one better with a spot-on Dr. Suess impression. “How Dr. Rocket Stole Christmas.” Brilliant. This [...]
Guest Strippin’ Xmas begins! Crystal Murphy is the one Guest Stripper (that’s not right) I can always rely on and today is the first of six contributions from her this year, all of them in the coloring book style you see above. You’re in for some pretty insightful and funny stuff. Marc and I return [...]
Crystal does it again! Marc and I will be back Jan. 6!
Happy New Year’s Eve, everybody! Crystal is back! For my money, this is friggin’ hilarious. Marc and I will return on Jan. 6!
Happy New Year! Dang, 2014. Crystal! Again! Marc and I will return to these parts on Jan. 6!
Crystal Murphy kicks butt! Seriously, I love these. Marc and I return on Jan. 6!
Annnnnd here’s Crystal Murphy with the big finish. Thanks so much, Crystal! You literally made Guest Strippin’ Xmas possible this year. Marc and I return Jan. 6th–MONDAY! There’s only four strips left in the current chapter. Everybody remember where we left off?
There’s a great story behind this one. A few months back, Marc’s wife Stephanie contacted me and several of Marc’s artist friends on Facebook to recruit us for help with an amazing present for Marc’s 40th birthday. Those of you who follow Marc on Twitter and Facebook know he’s a prolific artist. He draws on [...]
Marc here with a look at my design sketch for The Caretaker, a new and important character in the secret history of the SuperFogeys universe. Here’s Brock’s description for The Caretaker in the script for Monday’s strip: The Caretaker—a cosmic god who lives on the Moon (think the Watcher, but actually active)—stands watch at Earthrise [...]
THIRD UPDATE 5/11/15: In case you missed it in the blog, SuperFogeys will be moving to a 3-times-a-week schedule when we return in June to make things a bit easier on our patrons. Also, SuperFogeys issue 3 is now available on Comixology! SECOND UPDATE 5/5/15: Whoa! Just a few hours after we hit our first [...]
Well, it’s finally settled. After six long months SuperFogeys is finally on its way back. With the majority of Chapter 20′s strip in progress or already finished, Marc and I are confident is saying definitively that we will be back with Chapter 20, “Crossing Worlds,” for a three-times-a-week engagement (MWF) starting June 15th! I’ve got [...]
UPDATE 7/13/16: SUPERFOGEYS RETURNS MONDAY, AUG. 1st, 2016. GET ALL THE DETAILS RIGHT HERE! UPDATE! Is the comic dead? No! Full details right here. ORIGINAL POST: Marc and I are about to start work on Chapter 21 and in the meantime we give you this INCREDIBLE poster courtesy of Marc to show off a bit [...]
Welcome to the first of this week’s bonus strips! Each of the two strips will demonstrate a different side of the SuperFogeys, the humor and the serious. Today is humor. This actually constitutes a deleted scene from Chapter 20, and would have come directly after this strip. Looking back, I kind of wish I’d thought [...]
Monday was action. Tuesday was humor. Today is the drama. I didn’t realize it until now, but each of the updates for this week’s 10th Anniversary Celebration represents of the three keys SuperFogeys typically plays in. That’s probably why today’s strip felt so right. So, in case you haven’t noticed, today’s strip marks my return [...]
I love this. I love that it takes Money Man–a character usually identified (correctly) as a Batman analogue–and makes him Iron Man. Hilarious alternate take. This comes to us from Alethea Lim, a frequent commenter round these parts under the name “Alecat.” Thanks, Alethea, for being such a great fan! You did SF proud. 10th [...]
UPDATE 11/15/18 This is the LAST DAY to pledge your support! We are over 250% funded at this point and there are so many Kickstarter-exclusive goodies available through our stretch goals for all those who pledge $35 and above that it’s insane. The book is done, it only needs to be printed. And now we [...]
THIS IS IT! There is less than 24 hours left to back the SuperFogeys Kickstarter and secure your copy of Volume One: Inaction Heroes, a 300-page book collecting the first SEVENTEEN chapters of the SuperFogeys saga and bunch of SuperFogeys Origins stories besides. We’ve blown past SIX stretch goals, so there’s a bunch of goodies [...]
UPDATE: Great news! After just a day and a half we have met our goal and Marc can officially get what he needs and start drawing again! To say we’re both blown away would be an understatement. I knew the fans would come through for us, but to have it happen so fast is astounding. My [...]
Yes! After more than a YEAR, we are finally coming back with Chapter 23: The Captain and His Father on Monday, August 5, 2019. Not only that, but we are promising TWO chapters before our next significant hiatus, with only a two-week break in between them. We’re so sorry it’s taken us this long to [...]
Beginning today, there’s new SuperFogeys issues on ComiXology coming at you every week! You can pick up Issue 7 right now, and I highly recommend subscribing so you don’t miss a single one. They’re only .99 cents each because comics should cost a dollar, dangit! Why buy on ComiXology? Besides the obvious ease of reading [...]
