Oh, Star Maiden. What happened? I find the different interpretations of who exactly Dark Maiden is in relation to Star Maiden really fascinating. There seems to be some disagreement, which surprises me. But that? That’s a real death. Don’t forget to tip the artist! Click on the Money Man picture below the strip to donate [...]

Here he is, the man of the hour, President Superknocker. He’s all I hoped for and more. Any resemblance to any Presidents either living or dead is strictly coincidental. These “news strips” come from my love of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Besides being a great story, I love how Miller tells his story [...]

Everyone knows that all characters should be three dimensional. You’re more likely to believe in a fictional character when you can recognize the humanity–however manufactured–within them. One way of doing this, I’ve found, is to have characters treat some people one way and others a different way. There’s a side of Swifty that doesn’t really [...]

I’ve probably said it before, but pacing doesn’t get enough attention as one of the big keys to comic-making. Bad pacing can ruin a comic and make it unintelligible.

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 [...]

Y’know, Soviet Sam is not one of those characters I really ever planned on adding to the cast. He was introduced in the Society of Heroes origin story as an atypical, regretful villain. His instant horror at having killed in the midst of battle was something I’d never seen before, so I thought it would [...]

The back-and-forth Dark/Star Maiden is a fun one for me. Dark is so much fun to write because, at this point, she’s kind of Kylo Renning it and trying to resist the pull towards the light, but I do tend to miss Star quite a bit when she’s not around. Her particular brand of crazy [...]

One of the big themes of The SuperFogeys–and one of the big themes of my life, honestly–is that the failures and the tragedies we suffer and the sins we commit don’t have to result in a negative. They can be for our good, and in really powerful way that supersedes what might have been if [...]
