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 [...]

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 [...]

Gene’s closing line in panel one was originally something like “Give her your utmost respect.” I quickly discovered at the lettering stage that I didn’t have enough room for that. Thank goodness.

Hands down, this is my most favorite Dictator Tot strip. I think I really scored with her dialog here, none of which I can take credit for. This is very, very similar to conversations I’ve had with my daughter Elora. It was fun to break the 4 panel structure a bit as well, even though [...]

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 Visually, I really love this one. After what I felt was kind of a visually bankrupt previous strip, I really wanted to do something different with this one.

Commentary Now, this I realize that this is almost entirely a cut-and-paste job from an eariler strip. In this case, I thought it was justified as a)it allowed me to get ahead a little and b)it was perfect for the pacing I was trying to achieve. I think the coloring really sells it and I had [...]

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 [...]
