Titling a chapter is a source of great stress for me. I’m not very good at it and I put it off until I absolutely have to come up with something. That said, “The Techno Shuffle” very much fits what this chapter is going to be all about. Originally, this chapter opened on two characters [...]

The super-prison in the first panel is loosely based on the design of the Hall of Justice from the old Superfriends cartoon show. I don’t have a good reason for this other than it’s a design that always stuck with me and seemed strong enough to house all the wonderful bad guys that must be [...]

That last panel of Star Maiden is something I’m really pleased with. I wanted a really fluid figure and I often have a hard time drawing women. I surprised myself here.

Some readers misunderstood this strip to mean that Spy Gal is upset at Star Maiden again. Not my intention at all, something I hope becomes clear in the next strip.

COMMENTARY In the first panel there, you’ll notice a sign on the box that’s cut off. The full sign would read “Ark of the Covenant – Do Not Touch,” an obvious shout-out to Indiana Jones.

For those wondering what in the world Soviet Sam is referring to, you can see it for yourself right here. I’m looking forward to the discussion today. The past several weeks you guys have really dug into the themes of SF and shown your love for the characters by how closely you pay attention. Like [...]

For Soviet Sam, the journey to this moment has been a long one. I’d encourage you to click on Sam’s name in the tags (or right here) to check out his past appearances to see the full scope of what this hug might mean to him. Infamous Nefarious commented on Monday’s strip (which saw Sam [...]

Marc here with a brand new strip full of Earth (or Earths) shattering information. Both Brock and I thank you for your patience while the dust settles from Brock’s unemployment situation. For the time being, we’ll be scaling back our schedule a bit to accommodate the unexpected curve balls of life. There will be no [...]

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 [...]

Maybe you don’t know about the Harrison Ford Finger of Doom. The fact is, in every Harrison Ford movie (yes, ALL OF THEM–I insist), our favorite Han Solo will inevitably point his index finger at someone and it always, ALWAYS portends DOOM. Massive doom. So, in the script for this strip, I actually did ask [...]

Every time I challenge Marc to give SF some sweep and scope… he comes through in spades. I only wish that first panel were bigger so I could get some of those captions out of the way. This whole flashback sequence is gonna really give Marc a chance to shine. I can’t wait for you [...]

AND THE OFFICIAL ARTIST OF THE SUPERFOGEYS ORIGIN IS… T.L. COLLINS! That’s right, after much behind-the-scenes drama and two artists dropping out, I’ve finally secured an artist for [...]
