Ooooohhhh… the rare, coveted all-silent strip. But an important one. For the first time, Jerry uses his power in a whole new way. Trust me, after this, nothing will be the same. CHAPTER 20 DRAWING TO A CLOSE This chapter has got about 12 strips left in it and then SuperFogeys will be back on [...]

This is the big moment we’ve been ramping up to (and fearing) for several chapters now. Alt. Thrice Evil. On Earth-Abbadon. It doesn’t get scarier. There’s nothing holding him back now. See you on Monday with 676 – “Jerry, Meet Thrice Evil”

This week and next week probably constitute my favorite moments in this chapter. Jerry meeting Alternate Thrice Evil is a big, big moment. Thrice has influenced and shaped Jerry in a truly twisted way. How much of that is Jerry’s fault? How much of his life is due to his own decisions? These are important [...]

I’m a little late with this post (as per usual lately) so there’s already quite a few comments on this strip and more than a little confusion. Jerry is by far my favorite character to write simply because his psychology is so complex. He constantly surprises, but at the same time I don’t think his [...]
Loved the great responses to last Friday’s strip. This is my favorite sequence in this chapter and it looks like it’s yours as well. It’s a tricky thing, writing a villain. You’ve got to make them a credible threat, but at the same time you’ve got to believe they’re an actual person. You’ve got to [...]

You might call it God. Or karma. Or whatever. But the question is, even with the influences and the influencers in our [...]

Y’know, Soviet Sam is not one of those characters I really ever planned on adding to the cast. He was introduced in the Society of Heroes origin story as an atypical, regretful villain. His instant horror at having killed in the midst of battle was something I’d never seen before, so I thought it would [...]

Swifty is back! It’s actually been awhile since he was in the same time and dimension as the other Fogeys, believe it or not. He only briefly returned after the one year time jump, but then shuttled off to Earth-Avalon almost immediately. He was great fun over there, but I’ve missed having the guy around [...]

No, this wasn’t “our” Money Man, but he was the Money Man Sam spent the most time with. Still, he came in late. I remember when my dad died. I had been away from home for a while and when I returned for the funeral there were those present whom I didn’t know–those who had [...]

I’ve enjoyed very much the discussion about the nature of the different Deaths we’ve seen. Reminds me of the old days when speculation would run rampant with every strip we posted! I’ve refrained from involving myself too much in the conversation, but what I can tell you (and confirm!) is that each sphere–or dimension–gets their [...]

One of Thrice Evil’s more frightening powers–one that we’ve seen demonstrated before–is his ability to induce (often horrific) seemingly real-life visions in the minds of others. Percy is only the latest victim. He won’t be the last. And… just to drop a hint… could there be a false image we’ve seen since this alternate Thrice [...]

Maybe you don’t know about the Harrison Ford Finger of Doom. The fact is, in every Harrison Ford movie (yes, ALL OF THEM–I insist), our favorite Han Solo will inevitably point his index finger at someone and it always, ALWAYS portends DOOM. Massive doom. So, in the script for this strip, I actually did ask [...]

Who is the most powerful SuperFogey in just about any Universe? Why, it’s Star Maiden, of course. Or Dark Maiden. Or Star Matron. Whatever you call her, she’s Elora and she’s here to kick your butt. Only three strips left in this chapter! See you on Wednesday with 729 – “After the Battle!”

This strip is probably the best indicator of what you’re in for in the next chapter. A bunch of alternate versions of our characters have come over to this side of the multiverse and there’s so much potential just in them bouncing off against each other that, as a storyteller, I can’t pass it up.
