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 [...]

I don’t know that you’d be able to tell what’s going on without it. Second panel could have been better. A more arresting visual [...]

The Third Man is a character that first appears in the backup story in the First SuperFogeys Collection. I have big plans for him. His look is directly inspired by the film “The Third Man,” and Orson Welles’ character in particular. I think it’s fair to say I took a bit of inspiration from one [...]

Some people objected to the Captain and Star Maiden getting a divorce over a stinky sock. Them I would say: it’s one panel. Obviously, there’s a much bigger story there. I had a lot of fun with the interplay between Dictator Tot and Captain Spectacular here. I need to get those two together again.

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 [...]

As we enter the last four or five strips of this chapter, Marc and I find that our buffer has run out and we’re really pushing the deadlines hard. I’m excited to see this chapter come to and end and how the ending points to what’s ahead, but I’m also sad to see it happen [...]

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 [...]

I love it when Marc goes widescreen! So, so cool seeing all these characters in one place. We’ve come a long, long way since those early chapters. 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 [...]

What do you think? Is Cap right? Can anyone be redeemed? On Monday, we hit a big one. 800 strips. And if you think we’re going to celebrate by catching up with Jerry…well, you’re right! But there’s no way you’re prepared for where he is.
