Holy stinking snot bunnies. We just hit 600 strips. 600 STRIPS! How did this happen? How is it even possible that SuperFogeys is still going strong almost 7 years after it first debuted? I’ll tell you how: Marc Lapierre. Today marks the publication of Marc’s 300th SuperFogeys strip. Those of you with long memories will [...]

My scripts are usually pretty detailed, but this is one of those times Marc and I worked in the ‘Marvel Style’–I give Marc the general idea and he illustrates it accordingly, deciding how he wants to break things into panels and what he wants to show. I’ve learned to do this as much as possible [...]

I just can’t even comprehend the amount of work that had to go into that second panel. Strips may be small, but that deserves blowing up. Wow. I haven’t counted how many characters Marc managed to cram in there, but I know it’s a lot. I script these things but Marc always, always turns it [...]

I really hope everyone is checking out SuperFogeys on Comixology. I truly feel like that’s the ideal reading experience. Case in point: today’s strip. Thrice Evil has a plan, and I think if you read the past couple of chapters in collected form that plan is really, really obvious. But as it is right here? [...]

This is the big moment we’ve been ramping up to (and fearing) for several chapters now. Alt. Thrice Evil. On Earth-Abbadon. It doesn’t get scarier. There’s nothing holding him back now. See you on Monday with 676 – “Jerry, Meet Thrice Evil”

This is one of those strips I can easily point to as an example of the character taking over a bit. I knew I wanted to Thrice Evil and Jerry to meet, but it wasn’t until I started scripting it that Jerry’s cheery greeting came out as absolutely how he confronts our Big Bad. It [...]

Do we make our own choices are we subject to the whims of fate? And, anyway, what is fate? For Jerry, fate might be described as a three-pronged orange evil from another dimension. You might call it God. Or karma. Or whatever. But the question is, even with the influences and the influencers in our [...]

Since my comments on this strip are a little late, I have a opportunity to respond to the first comment right here. Jordan wants to know who is the person talking to Thrice Evil in the second panel. That would be the Cape of Wrath, a villain who was featured in two SuperFogeys Origins stories, [...]

This new chapter started out with a mighty punch for the simple reason that I wanted to signal to the reader that this is the kind of chapter you’re in for: a punching chapter full of action and destruction (and a little intrigue). So, of course, given all that, you’ve got to have the moment [...]

It’s the little things. Like Dr. Rocket and Percy breaking the boundary of the last panel. I love it. You almost don’t notice it, but it perfectly enhances the dynamics of the action in that panel. Little things like that make me happy. THE SWIFTY ORIGIN IS A GO! Good news! The long-awaited origin of [...]

New looks for President Reed and Star Matron! Couldn’t send them into battle in their civvies, now could we? The new uniforms came together pretty quickly–Marc is a real ace when it comes to character design–but I did have feelings about President Reed’s hat. In Marc’s original design, he was hatless. That didn’t feel quite [...]

And thus ends the incursion from Earth-Avalon. I’ll admit the Earth-Avalonians stuck around longer than I thought they would, taking up multiple chapters. They’ve been so embedded in [...]
