Can you believe it’s been well over a year since you’ve seen new episodes? You probably can. I know our hiatuses are punishingly long, but we always come back…and that counts for something, right? Marc and I are committed to finishing this story, but as we’ve gotten older and responsibilities have increased, it’s just harder [...]

I must say, it’s so good to be back. This is, admittedly, a bit of a quiet beginning to this more low key chapter. Quiet before the storm, I’m telling you…

Originally, I was going to draw this chapter myself. I actually did draw the first four strips, but when it came time to do more I realized it just all felt so wrong. I shouldn’t be drawing the SuperFogeys right now, not the way they are now. This is Marc’s territory. This particular strip was [...]

By now, it should be clear that this is a real “breather” of a chapter. We’re taking stock, assembling the team, diving into Percy a little and, through him, the various characters who pass through this story. At least on the New California side, anyway. It’s prelude to the insanity that’s coming in the next [...]
