This first strip in chapter 2 is all about setting up the game and introducing Dr. Klein, an obviously important figure at Valhalla. When I started the SuperFogeys, I always had it in the back of my mind that I would need to create a “man-in-charge” at some point. Dr. Klein, with his german name [...]

I love Spy Gal. It’s probably the adolescent schoolboy in me, but I have a lot of fun teasing her and putting her in some horrible situations. It’s always fun to see what she’ll do. Gene is the stand-in for my fifteen-year-old self. And, in case you can’t make it out, the book Spy Gal [...]

Some people thought Dr. Klein’s look in the third panel coupled with his German name mean that Dr. Klein is evil. I won’t comment on the prejudices of my readership, but I will say that I did not have that in mind when I drew it. I was just experimenting with what I could do [...]

Ugh. This is my failed experiment. Like Strip 25, I had two ideas for a strip and tried to make them into one. As drawn, panel 3 preceded panel 2, but at the last minute I got the idea to integrate them more. It didn’t work. Not helping matters is the last panel. For the [...]

I hate the first panel of this one. CS and Spy Gal just don’t look right and I don’t know what I was thinking. The entire point of this strip was to establish that Spy Gal is attracted to Dr. Klein. I don’t do anything more with it for the whole of Chapter 2, but [...]

And that’s it, folks! Captain Spectacular’s dialogue here with Dr. Klein offers real insight into his character. CS has retired from not only the hero business, but also from life. Even though this seems like a return to the status quo, the Captain will remain healed and able to walk. Might make things interesting later [...]

I think my ink line is too thick in these middle Chapter 3 strips. Also, the camera is just a little too tight, a constant problem of mine overall. Knowing what I wanted to do with Dr. Klein by the end of this chapter, it was important to keep him present in the story. That’s [...]

After the reveal of the last chapter that Dr. Klein is the Third Man, everything he says is just a little more sinister. This is my playing with that a bit. Artistically, this strip is bunk. Nothing looks right and that third panel is atrocious.

OPERATION: VALHALLA ENDS HERE! And now you see how it all began. This strip was tricky. It’s the only one that I can remember that has both Jerry and Dr. Klein in it at the same time. The artist, Mike Hartigan, had no clue about the link between them and, for some reason, removed the [...]

Submissions for Guest Strippin’ Xmas were down a little this year and Javier was concerned that I wouldn’t have enough so he produced this extra gag to help me out. Thanks, [...]

WELCOME TO CHAPTER 11, THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR This chapter, like Chapter 8, The Captain and the Spy, will be quite short and primarily consist of a conversation between two people. However, my prediction is that the response to this version of that plot will be much more positive. I hope. I like little [...]

CANCER ISN’T FUNNY Most of us will lose or have already lost someone close to us because of cancer. Personally, I’ve lost more than one. Introducing this storyline was something I had to really consider before going ahead with it. There’s lots of ways to do this sort of thing wrong and I can’t honestly [...]

THE GREEN HORNET I watched The Green Hornet with my wife over the weekend. I have no idea why she wanted to see it. Usually, she’s not much for the superhero stuff. But something about the trailers sparked her interest and we both laughed our way through it while agreeing that it doesn’t really come together [...]

Big shout-out to SuperStar SuperFogeys artist Marc Lapierre for just NAILING it with Dr. Klein’s expression in the last panel. Kudos, my friend. FRUSTRATION I’ve made [...]
