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 [...]

There’s a little bit of an info drop in that first panel, but forget about that BECAUSE HOLY CRUD THAT SECOND PANEL! The only bad thing about it is it’s so small. Marc draws battles and combat as good as the best and he did not disappoint here. The new coloring technique he’s been using [...]

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 [...]

For a second there I thought this was strip #666. Would have been appropriate if it was. I have to say it’s crazy fun to work on this alternate reality. I love what Marc did here with the Thrice Cave. OF COURSE it looks just like Thrice Evil’s head from the outside. Y’know, Thrice, that [...]

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 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 [...]

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, [...]

For those of you who can’t remember (and who can??), the Lodge of Doom from Earth-Avalon came over to the more familiar Earth-Abbadon. Most of them immediately headed up North, but two stayed behind, Starbrighter and Evil Tangerine. They, obviously, are looking for Jerry for… reasons. Money Man–this Money Man, anyway–is also from Earth-Avalon. He [...]

One of the more annoying things journalists do in mainstream publications is accompany any article about comics-related topics with a lazy headline cribbed from the fight scenes of the old Batman television show from the 60′s.

Longtime SuperFogeys fans will remember the original Money Man both from his brief origin in the very first SuperFogeys Origins story, and for his key role in putting the Society of Heroes together. And, of course, his untimely death. The man featured in today’s strip is not that man. He comes from another world where [...]

If you’re a parent, you get this strip. If you’re not… well, not every joke is for everybody. This strip is special for me because the two little girls in the last panel–Dictator Tot and Violent Violet–are based on two of my girls, Elora and Violet. Both were kind of crazy at age 3, hence [...]

One of things I did a lot of in the early days of the strip was drop little hints of the characters’ back stories through dialogue or a look. Some of those hints got turned into full fledged stories through the SuperFogeys Origins series–a lot of them, actually. What’s fun now is that with the [...]

If you’re a longtime fan you know today’s strip carries a lot of weight. This is, of course, the Money Man from an alternate dimension, but it’s also the Money Man we’ve spent the most time with.
