Captain Emo was the winning entry in the first SuperFogeys “Create-A-Character” contest. He was created by William Sharpe, III and will reappear in a future chapter. Had so much fun with the song lyrics. I can’t write lyrics, which made it all the more perfect, I think.

MOTHER OF AN EPISODE So little dialogue…so much drawing…and I don’t like any of it. I’ve gotten slammed in the past for being too critical of my work. Whenever I get into that mode, people usually do one of two things: either 1) defend my work against me and my wonderful insecurities or 2) tell [...]

Last Thursday, I broke that rule a bit by linking to past Bubbles of Light episodes. I though it would be helpful and most of you seemed to enjoy that. You see, a small part [...]

Lots of hints at bigger stories here, but our focus is on the Matt. Artist Marjorie Rishel rolls with it as usual though. I love how even when the Healer is doing good he still looks like a punk. Only two pages left in this origin story! Big, BIG revelations next week. Hey, don’t forget [...]

In the song, Mr. Adams names all the things he’d do for his love: lie, die, walk the wire, etc. First of all, who walks on wires for their love? Is this [...]
