THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT I’m gonna cut right to the chase here: I have a shot at a contract with DC Comics. This is it. This is what I’ve been waiting to tell you for months now. This is the “secret comics project.” What is it? It’s the story of a old movie theater [...]

‘SIX WIVES’ ENDS I think today’s conclusion to the ‘Six Wives’ storyline is probably more of a whimper than a bang, but I think that’s important. The story isn’t really over, is it?

That wouldn’t be right. He’s a very enthusiastic SF reader and just nailed this. Congrats, Tyler! You get to commission a sketch card from artist [...]

JERRY GOES TO COLLEGE That first panel cracks me up. It pretty much encapsulates everything Jerry is. Some commented (I forget who) that Jerry separating from Captain Spectacular to go to college is a lot like what Robin and Batman did during the 70′s. Yep. John Jett did some good work today! I especially love [...]

VEGAS! I’ve been to Las Vegas on several occasions, but I can’t honestly say that it’s a city I enjoy visiting. Not only is it the site of one of the biggest romantic blunders of my life, but there’s a bit of darkness hanging over that town. I get the grossest feeling as I near [...]

BUNNIES! We’ve seen this scene before. Most notably here. John really drew the snot out of this page and it is indeed one of his favorites so far. Dude keeps getting better and better. Amazing.

SUPERFOGEYS VOLUME ONE MINI-REVIEW–WITH PICTURES! I ran a contest earlier this year to help get the word out about Marc Lapierre joining me on SF as the new regular artist. There were two winners and one of them, Marjorie Rishel, has done a great writeup on her prize–her autographed copy of SF Vol. 1! It [...]

MARC TOPS HIMSELF AGAIN I don’t know if it’s noticeable to any of you, but for me, as soon as I saw the art for this strip, I realized Marc had made another leap forward in his art on SF. This isn’t a flashy strip, so it’s as subtle difference. But it’s there. I hope [...]

CHARACTER ACTING Good comics feature good character acting. I believe this. It’s one of the reasons why Calvin & Hobbes is so beloved and the lack of it is partly to blame for why Dilbert is often so derided. Can you imagine Watchmen without Dave Gibbons’ expressive and well-defined characters? I can’t. It’s why I love the work of Kevin Maguire [...]
