I’m a huge movie buff, but ever since I stopped working at a movie theater those many years ago, I don’t get to see nearly as many movies as I’d like. That’s why this is a Top 5 list instead of Top 10. Even at that, there were some movies that were incredibly difficult to [...]
Unfortunately, I can’t embed videos on this blog. Don’t really know why. So, here’s a few links to a few short video pieces I’ve done lately. Enjoy. SFX Catastrophes Bad Robot, the production team behind Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol released a handy little app called Action Movie and over the Christmas break I had a [...]
Hey Everybody, Today marks the launch of my new website, brockheasley.com. I’ve been heading towards this for a while now, even if I didn’t realize it. In this day and age, if you’re an author–you need a website. I always saw this site as my hub, but I just don’t think it makes such sense [...]
Here’s a fan art drawn around the time of Chapter One. I don’t think I’d even revealed what Spy Gal’s feet looked like yet! Check out more of Winston Rowntree’s amazing work on his surreal and epic webcomic, Subnormality!
I think what a person actively seeks out and watches on TV says a lot about them. It also says almost nothing at all as what shows some people choose to watch are just baffling to me. Either way, I’m always fascinated to learn how people spend their leisure time in front of the (used [...]
Hey all. I’m still getting used to blogging in two different places. Still trying to figure out what I should be posting here and what I should be posting on my new site, brockheasley.com. Would love to hear your suggestions. I’m really interested in creating more SuperFogeys-related blog content. What would you guys like to [...]
It was recently put across to me that Chapter One of The SuperFogeys, “Insane Romance From Hell,” is the number one barrier SF has for attracting new readers. I didn’t disagree. This same person told me that, in their opinion, SuperFogeys is easily as good if not better than anything DC or Marvel are putting [...]
Which is better for webcomics, long chapters or short chapters? I realize not all webcomics use the chapter system, but for those that do (like SuperFogeys), which is best? I think about this often. The average SuperFogeys chapter is about 30 strips, but some have been much shorter, and at least one is twice that [...]
Last week, the day after the big finale to Chapter 12 dropped, Marc and I recorded a podcast with Tom Racine, Tall Tale Radio how and he of the great, honey-dripped voice. We talked the reaction to Chapter 12, what’s coming next for the Fogeys (beware: minor spoilers), Captain Spectacular’s woes, and, just for kicks, [...]
How freakin’ cool is this? Big thanks to SuperFan Kelsi Swensen for making my inbox very, very happy over the weekend. Now I want to play the video game!
We are now officially in a brand new era of The SuperFogeys. Jerry and Spy Gal are married. I thought it might be fun to take a look back at their romance from Spy Gal’s perspective. How did she get here? Which interactions were key? Call this The Annotated SuperFogeys: Spy Gal’s Perspective. The first [...]
SuperFan Kristie Metler send me this fun little piece just a bit ago. Once in a while, she draws pictures of characters for her kids and her choice on this particular day was the Fogeys! I love it. There’s something really pure about drawing strictly for your kids. Thanks, Kristie! Would you like to do [...]
Over the weekend, SuperFogeys Origins artist Alex Deligiannis posted an art process blog at his site for the gorgeous two page story he drew up for me, When Dictator Tot Met Gene. If you’re like me, you’re a junkie for this sort of thing. Here’s a preview: “…[Brock] sent me a script for a two-page story, [...]
I know many of you were straining to see just what the heck was on the bulletin board in SF 390 – “Bubbles of Light 7.” A couple of you actually pretty much figured it out (kudos to YOU guys!), but for the rest of you I thought you might like to see it a [...]
Hey SuperFans, I don’t normally use this forum to express any political, religious or social views, but there’s a movement happening today to “spread the word to end the word”–the R-Word. You can click right here to take the pledge. I’ve also written a short blog explaining my feelings about the word and why it’s [...]
Hey everybody, I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that I actually produced some fan art–a rare, rare thing–for Denver Brubaker’s amazing superhero serial, Tales of The Checkered Man. If you’re not reading Tales of The Checkered Man then you’re missing out something fierce. It’s a funny, clever and gorgeous take on the [...]
This one takes me way back. Winston Rowntree is one of the most amazing, underknown webcomickers out there. You would do well to check out his always thought-provoking webcomic, Subnormality (warning: language). Thanks again, Winston!
The response to yesterday’s big SuperFogeys 400 has been terrific so far. As a thank you to everyone for sticking with us and being so supportive, Marc has crafted a huge wallpaper from the latest strip and it’s a beaut. Click on the image below to enlarge and download it for yourself. Enjoy!
Hey all, how’s it going? I’m writing this post 20 minutes before you all see the 101st strip by SuperFogeys Artist Marc Lapierre. That’s amazing. As most of you know, Marc saved SuperFogeys from certain doom after I decided to shut down the comic–and leave all storylines unfinished–about one year ago. Just to give you [...]
Hey everybody, just came across this excellent review of The SuperFogeys this week and, needless to say, Marc and I are extremely flattered by the high praise. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a proper review–and I think this is the first one since Marc took over art duties. Big thanks to Caitlin [...]
Hey everybody, this past weekend I spoke with Kurt Sasso over at TGT Media about all things SuperFogeys. This is one of the most in-depth interviews I’ve ever done. Kurt really let me have it with some deep thematic questions about the nature of growing old and how writing the SuperFogeys may be changing who [...]
My buddy Scott King runs an excellent webcomic by the name of Holiday Wars (along with two-time SuperFogeys Origins artist Michael Odom!) and he has something REALLY special lined up for the next three weeks that I thought you guys just had to know about. Here’s Scott: HOLIDAY WARS launches GIVEAWAY! To celebrate the launch of [...]
As I write this it’s just been revealed that Marvel’s THE AVENGERS has a set a new opening weekend box office record by a wiiiiiide margin. $200.3 million. Take that in. Not only is an Avengers movie actually real, it’s hit the zeitgeist. Well I guess so! The movie plays like gangbusters with an audience. [...]
What a great surprise this is! This is the first piece of fan art I’ve gotten for Dark Maiden and it’s beautiful and menacing. Big thanks to artist Margaret Racine for rendering her in such fine style. This isn’t Margaret’s first fan art rodeo. She also did the Thrice Evil up right a few months [...]
Lyrics: Now this is a story all about how Dad met Mom atop a Space Cow And you know they fell in love right straight away The ninja and the anti-hero got married the next day ‘Bout one year later, born on a table Out I popped, I wasn’t ready or able Powerless, ridiculous, nonetheless [...]
Hey, all. As you know, I don’t do a whole lot of drawing these days, but when my good friend and author Kasie West asked me to draw up a bookmark of the characters from her upcoming YA Fantasy Novel PIVOT POINT (HarperTeen, 2013) I couldn’t say no. Mostly because I owed her big time [...]
Everybody enjoying their summer? This has seemed like an especially busy one. For both me and for Marc. My wife and I are taking our first real vacation together in a long, long time next week and I could not be more excited. Medical bills and kids and kids with issues have kept us away [...]
Not a hoax! Not an imaginary story! The next SuperFogeys book to be printed will be a full-fledged RPG. More details coming soon. For now, see the press release below! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘THE SUPERFOGEYS’ WEBCOMIC LICENSED FOR GAMES (Irving, Texas – 7/6/12) Team Frog Studios announced today they have come to an agreement [...]
I’ve been putting the call out this past week for your picks for the best SuperFogeys strips. Marc and I are trying to craft an ashcan comic to hand out at conventions to give newbies a good idea of what SF is all about. My thought right now is to pick a selection of funny [...]
A little known fact about the time-lost Mega Matt (son of Tangerine, irritation of many) is that he’s based on a real person. Matthew Pontoriero, cousin of Th3rd World Publisher (and sometimes SF character himself) Michael DeVito. Mike described Matthew to me and told me he sometimes used the alias Mega Matt and the rest [...]
Hey all. Even though the SuperFogeys are taking a little break, Marc and I are still hard at work. And we’re using the extra time wisely–Marc has designed a bunch of new characters and even some new looks for old ones! This is the Spy Gal you’ll see in Chapter 15 – Invasion, Part Two: [...]
Valhalla is a big place and there’s only so much room from week-to-week to show you all its denizens. But, sometimes, the right story comes along and we get to see some of the characters who make up the fringe. You already saw a hint of Raptor X in SF 444, but in Chapter 15 [...]
Here we go again! Another look at a new Fogey you’ll be seeing more of in the upcoming Chapter 15 (starts October 1st!), The Crimson Spelunker! Once again, Marc is showing off a YOUNGER version of the character first. You’ll meet the older incarnation soon enough (though you if you look closely at SF 444, [...]
Even while Marc is hard at work on strips for Chapter 15, he still continues to crank out these fantastic sketches of the younger incarnations of new characters you’ll be seeing soon. Today it’s Carnation Belle (who, technically, we’ve seen once or twice before…)! Carnation Belle was quite the looker back in the day. Homecoming [...]
Marc just keeps it coming! Here’s the latest young version of an old hero you’ll be seeing in Chapter 15 – Atomic Fly! Atomic Fly was just your normal, everyday, average trapeze artist/law student when he was bitten by a radioactive fly. That didn’t do much besides make him sick for a month, but during [...]
SuperFogeys artist Marc Lapierre will be at the New York City Comic Con this next weekend, October 11-14. He’ll be in the Artist Alley, table C5, alongside Imy’s Irma Eriksson. Be sure and stop by to say hi if you’re planning on going! Marc will have some exclusive SuperFogeys posters for sale. Check ‘em out: [...]
We here at SuperFogeys Central are pleased to announce the Kickstarter Campaign to support the creation of The SuperFogeys Sourcebook & Adventure Game. This is something we’ve been working on for months now, in conjunction with respected game developer Team Frog Studios. Back in April, the Team Frog guys approached me to ask if we’ve [...]
Big update to the SuperFogeys Sourcebook and Adventure Game Kickstarter over the weekend–now I can show you the first miniatures. Check it out, Captain Spectacular and Dr. Rocket: How great are those sculpts! Big kudos to sculptor Gene Van Horne for capturing ALL the detail of what up until now was just drawings on a [...]
Hey all, it’s go time. Just over 24 hours to go on the Kickstarter as I type this and we are sooooo close to the Spy Gal stretch goal. Only $226 to go as of this writing! C’mon, you want a sculpted Spy Gal, don’t you? I know I do. As I’ve mentioned before, The [...]
It’s that time of year again when SuperFogeys takes a bit of time off and you get to step in to fill the gap! You guys really came out in a big way to support SF this year. From the last minute guest strips we needed over the summer to the Kickstarter, I want to [...]
I saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this past weekend and let me just get this out of the way first: I enjoyed the movie. It was a little long in parts, a little indulgent, but I’m pretty sure the same magic that was present in the Lord of the Rings films was there and [...]
Hey all, great, short new interview with Marc here. He talks about why he decided to work on SuperFogeys, what makes SF different from other webcomics and hints at the future of his own webcomic, Spooky Doofus. Check it out!
Greetings, SuperFans! It’s your Friendly Neighborhood Fogeys artist here. Another summer blockbuster movie season is fast approaching and one film I’m really looking forward to this year is Iron Man 3. Recently a new teaser poster was released which I think is heads and shoulders above most movie posters these days. If you haven’t seen [...]
Been a little while since some fan art was thrown our way. This fantastic piece comes to us from Tony Esteves of the webomic Legendary Woodsman! Tony really captured Sam’s noble spirit, as you can well see. Great work, Tony! Want to see to share your SuperFogeys fan art with the world? Send it along [...]
Hey all, I know you’ve been patiently waiting for your Sourcebook & Adventure Game and we’re working real hard behind the scenes to get it out to you as quickly as possible, but I thought you’d like to see a little something Paul Lidberg over at Team Frog Studios posted this past week–The Spy Gal [...]
Greetings, once again, SuperFans! Marc here with another illustration to share. This time it’s not superhero or comic book related, though so I hope you’ll enjoy it. The other day I thought it would be fun to draw one of the most iconic performers of the 1970′s punk scene, Joey Ramone. I was experimenting here [...]
Fan Art week kicks off with this FIRST Zurida fan art by Roland Perez! He really captured her design wonderfully. Thanks, Roland! I’ve heard whispers of more fan art coming my way. I can guarantee at least one piece from me–a design for a brand new villain you’ll be seeing in the strip soon (okay, [...]
In the spirit of Fan Art Week, I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring and, instead of drawing a character you already know and love, I drew up a new character you’ll be seeing in SuperFogeys within the next year or so–Violent Violet. Most of your are aware I’ve put my kids in [...]
It’s always a treat getting some sweet, sweet Swifty Fan Art. I love, love, love the addition of the tennis balls on the feet of the walker. Wish I’d thought of that. This comes to us from Daniel Elliott of The Superpower Union. Check his stuff out! Thanks, Daniel! Send me your SuperFogeys Fan Art [...]
I can always count on Tom Racine to bring the funny. I’ve known Tom for years both online and in real life and I can tell you he’s one of the good ones. Through his podcast Tall Tale Radio, Tom has been a big promoter of cartooning and webcomicking and is doing the community a [...]
This was a slightly late entry to fan art week, but this Space Pig piece from Frank Jordan is too stellar to not share. Be sure and check out more of Frank’s work at his hilarious workplace webcomic, Company Man. Thanks, Frank!
If you’ve been following the comments on Money Man’s recent reappearance then you’ve probably noticed that people are drawing a line between Money Man’s new persona and Batman (along with a little Tony Stark mixed in for kicks). SuperFan Gwen Patton expressed her hope to see Money Man’s Secret Dollar Vault that houses all his [...]
Wanna get a signed copy of the out-of-print SuperFogeys Vol. 1? Keep reading. SuperFan and Podcaster Extraordinaire Kurtis Sasso (TGT Media) is branching out to work on his first film–a documentary entitled Little Person Among Media Giants. Kurt is one of the good ones, so you best pay attention. From his summary: This documentary follows [...]
I’m going to do what I can to keep this review spoiler-free, but, obviously, if you want to know absolutely nothing going in, turn back now. Superman is my favorite. More than Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America or Tom Strong, Superman is my go-to superhero. The sad thing about being a Superman fan is that he’s [...]
After I wrote my review for Man of Steel, the rest of the world got a chance to see the movie and reaction has been… mixed. Some, like me, are crazy about the movie. Other can’t believe they’re actually calling that guy in the tights “Superman.” This is mostly due to the ending of the [...]
Hey, everybody! Guess what? I was just invited to be a regular contributor to the fantastic news and opinion site, Geek League of America. My first piece “The Jedi Are Pricks: How Star Wars VII-IX Can Make the Prequels Retroactively Better” just went up! Here’s a preview: The upcoming Star Wars sequels present a unique [...]
Hear us now! Geek League of America has a new podcast up and Marc and I were invited to come on the show to talk with Jeff and Shawn Carter and give our thoughts on Man of Steel. Marc and I don’t exactly agree, and no one on the show is as enthused as I [...]
Hey, gang! Your friendly neighborhood Fogeys artist, Marc here! Since Brock if off enjoying a well deserved vacation, I thought I would pop in here and share some non-SuperFogeys art. One of my All Time favorite shows as a child was ‘The Greatest American Hero’. William Katt starred as Ralph Hinkley, a meek high school [...]
Hey all, sorry for the frustration of late with the website. I’m not entirely clear on what happened to cause the downtime and the subsequent issues we’re having with access, but I think we’re close to having it licked. One thing we’ve done already is move to a new server. Soon, we’ll be making a [...]
Hey all, Artist and friend Chip Skelton has drawn two SuperFogeys Origins for me so far, Cellmates and Harvey the Science Rabbit, Part Two. I think we can all agree Chips combination of creepy-cool and stellar attention to detail resulted in some fairly fantastic art and storytelling. Now, he’s one of many artist contributing to [...]
