UPDATE – THE SCRIPT Below in the comments, Greg Bulmash asked a great question about how exactly TL and I work together. Specifically, he was curious as to how much influence I, as the writer, have over the visuals and how much is TL’s invention. I figure some of you might like to know as [...]

SUPERFOGEYS SUMMIT ’09 Over the weekend, SuperFogeys Summit 09 was held with “the brain trust:” myself and Th3rd World publishers Mike DeVito and Jon Conkling. We talked about the SF publishing schedule, new ways to get SF to the people, how to grow the SF audience, etc. I’m really excited about 09. It’s a lock [...]

SUPERFOGEYS COLLECTIONS PRICE CHANGES …and probably not the ones you’re hoping for. We ran last year’s numbers and did the math twice and…there’s no choice now…we have to raise the prices on the SuperFogeys collections. I hate doing this. I’m determined to make these books affordable so that anyone can pick ‘em up, but, realistically, [...]

MR. CROOK Mr. Crook is one of those guys that gets mentioned from time to time, but that you don’t really know much about. In fact, unless I’m completely wrong, I do believe this is the first time he’s ever spoken a word. It was fun to finally have him do that. His time as [...]

FLASHING BACK Long time fans might find today’s Origins a little familiar. Essentially, what we have here is this little scene done up TL Collins style and given some context. There are some subtle inconsistencies (like Dr. Rocket’s hair), but nothing too imporant. Really like what TL did with the top panel in particular–he showed me [...]

Yes, it’s true that Swifty’s costume has suffered a mid-story change out of nowhere.
