Drawing a sauced Captain Spectacular was so much fun that I have to find a way to do it again. I WILL find a way to do it again. Originally, this was going to be flashback to how CS met Jerry. I’ll still tell that story one day, but with Spy Gal’s suspicions raised, I [...]

Here’s one of the advantages of planning far, far ahead: I can drop tidbits in here and there because, to me, the stories already exist. Tom and the Mysterious Woman in the photograph are something for later (probably Chapter 7), but knowing about them already, I can use them to illustrate a point here. The [...]

COMMENTARY This is maybe one of the most economical and tragic things I’ve ever written.

When things [...]

Today’s strip kind of unlocks a big piece of the puzzle and I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys make of it. I know some of you have objections to the way these flashbacks are playing out, and that’s okay. Chapter’s not over yet. A flashback heavy strip like today deserves a few annotations. [...]

Man, this is a real trip down memory lane. Longtime readers will recognize these scenes from throughout both SuperFogeys and SuperFogeys Origins. Newbies, don’t worry. Knowing all these references or not knowing them isn’t going to impact future reading. But, for those who want to know, I present to you: annotations! Panel 1: This is [...]

These flashback strips are really such a showcase for Marc’s talent that I feel like anything I have to say just doesn’t matter. I will say that if you know Soviet Sam… then you probably already know how this is gonna go. See you on Wednesday with 775 – Raging Percy!

Behold… the power of Percy. APOLOGIES TO OUR $3+ PATRONS HUGE apologies to our $3+ Patrons. You were supposed to see this strip a day early, as usual, but there was a delay in production that was entirely my fault. Marc, as usual, got the artwork to me on time, but then I completely spaced. [...]

I can’t apologize enough (again!) for this being late. We had to rush Cami to the ER last night (yep, on Easter) and it completely threw me off. She had a seizure–her first in three years. She’s doing fine now, but obviously it was a little scary. In other words… blame me, not Marc, that [...]

I daresay Marc has outdone himself with this one. I think it’s among the very best work he’s ever done, and it’s on a strip I know for a fact was incredibly difficult for him to draw. We’re both fathers to girls and this is a tough one. BRIEF HIATUS We’re in the home stretch [...]
