NOW UPDATED WITH THE FULL POST (scroll down to see additional content)! JASON SIGLER TOPS HIMSELF Is it just my imagination or is the artist of this month’s SuperFogeys Origin actually growing as an artist right before our eyes?

SWIFTY AND THE PROPHECY ENDS! I can’t thank Jason Sigler enough for the stellar job he did on this story! He brought a real energy and zaniness that you don’t often see with SF, but that was absolutely what this story called for. Thanks a bunch, man! Be sure and listen to the Digitial Strips podcast [...]

STEVE OGDEN GOES THE EXTRA MILE I don’t think there’s a single page of this little story that was more labored over than this one. Steve made the decision to add a page to the original 5-page story and it really helps things tremendously. The exact look and pace and number of panels on this [...]

WELCOME TO SUPERFOGEYS ORIGINS, CHRIS WATKINS! I have nothing but good things to say about my collaboration with Chris Watkins. Not only has he been a dream to work with, but the storytelling choices he makes and the very defined, cartoony spin he puts on things leaves me a bit jealous. And those colors! Chris’s [...]

BOOM. ACTION. Chris Watkins turns it out in fine style today. Looking solely at his work on Odori Park, I don’t think you’d ever guess that Chris could handle action like he does at the end of this page. It’s just so, so great. MY BOOK HAS PASSED ITS BIGGEST TEST SO FAR There’s one person [...]

CONTINUALLY IMPRESSED I’m still amazed that with each new page of this story Chris Watkins continues to top himself. This page rocks and serves as a perfect lead-in to the major revelations in store for next week. But, like most things in SuperFogeys, I’ll bet many of you have figured it out already from the trail [...]

WHO SAYS I’M WORDY? I can be a wordy sonuvagun, it’s true. But one thing I’ve been working on a lot lately is trying to pare down my word counts in the comics (not here in my comments though–I’m not that merciful). Comics are very much the interplay between words and pictures (not strictly speaking, [...]

AN APOLOGY You may have noticed the today’s SFO page looks a little different than the ones that have come before it. What you’re looking at is what’s called flats–just the very basic colors have been laid into the art. What’s missing is the rendering, which is what really makes art like this sing. Click [...]
