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 [...]

COLORS Man, I love Chris’s colors on this one. So bright and perfect for the time period (late 1960′s). Be sure and check out his webcomic, Odori Park! BIG THINGS IN THE WORKS I’ve got some HUGE stuff in the works for SF right now and that leaves me with little time to compose a post [...]

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 [...]

MONICA RETURNS Read the Spy Gal Origin lately? Now’s a good time to go back and review! Come on back here after you’re done and we’ll discuss. Ready? Here we go. Fun and pointless fact: Operation: C.O.W. was always intended to be a sequel of sorts to Spy Gal’s origin, though it was, in fact, written first! [...]

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 [...]
