One of Marc’s artistic high watermarks has got to be the Donutron destruction of Las Vegas. That’s a sequence that also took place at night. I think Marc is just really good at nighttime stuff, and this strip is no exception. The colors sing. This chapter is about to get down to brass tacks. You [...]

I’m INCREDIBLY excited for what this strip is leading into. One thing we used to do a lot of around here is flashbacks. Been a while since we had a good one, but that’s about to change in a big way. You want to know stuff? You will know stuff. ANNOUNCEMENT: Because of scheduling conflicts [...]

Unfortunately, in a double whammy, my wife and [...]

Sometimes, I ask Marc to accomplish the tricky task of communicating a character’s entire state of mind or silent conversation purely through a facial expression.

Well, I asked Marc to draw a really big vault… he drew a really big vault! Love the touch of it having to be opened by Captain Spectacular. Awesome. (To be clear: I didn’t write that detail. I’m not complimenting myself!) CATCHING UP WITH CAMI Some of you may remember that the character of Cami [...]

Double sized strip! Double-sized strip! These are a rare treat, but always welcome. Love it when Marc does this. CAMI I was a little late posting comments to Monday’s strip so those of you who saw it when it first went up probably didn’t see my note about Cami. Here it is if you did [...]

I think the number one complaint about this chapter has been Captain Spectacular’s lack of shirt. I think Tangerine is speaking for us all here. I can make this promise now: Cap will end this chapter with a shirt on his person. What can I say? I aim to please. COMIXOLOGY REMINDER Hey, want to [...]

This strip feels like a throwback to me. Like it’s the kind of interaction that could have easily fit into the first 5 or so chapters when things were a little less crazy in the narrative than they are now. Maybe it’s just me, but I like that. That was certainly one of my goals [...]

I really hope everyone is checking out SuperFogeys on Comixology. I truly feel like that’s the ideal reading experience. Case in point: today’s strip. Thrice Evil has a plan, and I think if you read the past couple of chapters in collected form that plan is really, really obvious. But as it is right here? [...]

It’s nice to finally, fully reveal the Northern Dissenters. I think they’ve been talked about a lot, but we haven’t seen too much of them. They obviously play a big part in the end of the chapter, but also into the next. I look forward to seeing what you guys make of them. PODCASTING! Marc [...]
