Holy stinking snot bunnies. We just hit 600 strips. 600 STRIPS! How did this happen? How is it even possible that SuperFogeys is still going strong almost 7 years after it first debuted? I’ll tell you how: Marc Lapierre. Today marks the publication of Marc’s 300th SuperFogeys strip. Those of you with long memories will [...]

And we’re back! Thanks for your patience during the past two weeks while we rejuiced and got ready for this next chapter–which is a big one. Seriously, I know we’ve raised a lot of questions and started a lot of mysteries over the years–and certainly we’ve done some big reveals along the way–but with this [...]

This might be the most Thrice Evil (whichever incarnation in whichever story you want to pick) has ever spoken at once. It’s… weird. Marc did a bang-up job with the color orange here, and with the lighting in particular. I mean, look at panel four. Wow. That’s some solid villainy right there. Next week: A whoooole [...]

My scripts are usually pretty detailed, but this is one of those times Marc and I worked in the ‘Marvel Style’–I give Marc the general idea and he illustrates it accordingly, deciding how he wants to break things into panels and what he wants to show. I’ve learned to do this as much as possible [...]

Swifty was gone so long from the strip that I kind of forgot how much fun he can be to write. There’s a lot of dialogue crammed into this strip, but his stuff, though incidental, is my favorite. I guess even when you bring a ton of new characters onto the stage, they can’t really [...]

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 [...]

Marc here with a look at my design sketch for The Caretaker, a new and important character in the secret history of the SuperFogeys universe. Here’s Brock’s description for The Caretaker in the script for Monday’s strip: The Caretaker—a cosmic god who lives on the Moon (think the Watcher, but actually active)—stands watch at Earthrise [...]

Hey, everybody! Sorry I’ve been gone so long. These past couple of weeks have been rough ones. There have been good times, but I haven’t been unemployed since I was 21-years-old and trying to figure out how this new life is supposed to work while also figuring out how to put food on the table [...]

One of the things noted in a recent comment (forgive me for not remembering who said it) was that this storyline is making SuperFogeys the inverse of the “mirror universe” trope in which alternate realities are generally worse. That’s pretty much exactly right, as today’s strip makes abundantly clear. You guys are so smart. GOOD [...]

Every once in a while someone will make a comment about how everything goes back to Jerry. How right they are. He may disappear for a chapter on some crazy, worldwide scavenger hunt, but still he lurks. He underlines everything in this story. It’s always been that way and it always will be. Had a [...]

This isn’t any kind of secret, but at the same time I’m not sure anyone has noticed that Swifty is the one character who has not changed one bit since Chapter 1. There’s no arc for him, no softening of his hard edges. Swifty is Swifty. Does that mean he can NEVER change? No, but [...]

Swifty. Nothing if not consistent. If you missed it–and because it’s such a big deal it deserves repeating–Marc’s art was recently used by Marvel without his persmission for their 75th Anniversary television special. All of his friends jumped on this and took to social media and the result was quite surprising. You can read all [...]

It’s been one year since Captain Spectacular’s ex-wives Zurida and Dark Maiden and an alien armada invaded the United States of America and took it over. Now, the USA is now more. In [...]

Writing–and seeing–two different Soviet Sams is a lot of fun. They are basically completely different characters. Also a lot of fun is General Will vs. Captain Spectacular. One man with all the power who struggles to be the hero, the other with none of the power who takes his heroing seriously. Next week: Spy Gal [...]

Some of you have been commenting on Swifty’s inability to change. I confess I actually take quite a bit of pride in the fact that, essentially, Swifty doesn’t change. No matter what you throw at him. Anyone know an older person like that? I sure do. PATREON UPDATE Well, we seem to have hit a [...]
