SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Swifty did not start out as a character I particularly liked. I know that’s a strange thing to say. Generally speaking, as a creator, you’re supposed to like all your characters. But Swifty was invented to express a cranky side of being old that I don’t much admire. Slowly, over time, [...]

At the beginning of this chapter, Dr. Rocket tuned the Guthrie to the DNA of all Earth-Avalonians. Which means, yes, this [...]

For those keeping track of the geography, yes, Avalon Thrice Evil did just sail over about 3,000 miles of terrain and land smack dab in the middle of the Las Vegas battle. In retrospect, this might be a bit too abrupt of a transition. Wouldn’t surprise me if we end up doing an in between [...]
