I know I can be a wordy sonuvagun (though I’d like to think I’ve gotten better with time and experience), but I really do love strips like this that are more about economy of storytelling than how many words I can stick in a panel. Marc nailed the emotion in a big way, putting the [...]

UPDATE 2:30pm PST: Whoops. Sorry about that folks. I have never, ever let it go so long without writing up something short to go beneath a strip.

The gold standard, for me, is still this one, but there’s a lot to love in today’s as [...]

I think generals and leaders of men have a terrible burden of responsibility.

The back-and-forth Dark/Star Maiden is a fun one for me. Dark is so much fun to write because, at this point, she’s kind of Kylo Renning it and trying to resist the pull towards the light, but I do tend to miss Star quite a bit when she’s not around. Her particular brand of crazy [...]

Star Maiden is back! Star Maiden is back! I don’t know about you… but I’ve missed her. Dark Maiden is a ton of fun, but there’s something about Star Maiden’s particular brand of crazy that I just enjoy immensely. Her return, at least for me, is quite welcome. How about you guys? Where do you [...]

Here’s a pairing that never occurred to me until I did it: Gina Galloway and Percy–the two children (of Portalmaker [aka Alt. Jerry] and Captain Spectacular, respectively) who don’t have counterparts on either Earth. Makes me wish I’d thought of doing it sooner! JERRY Jerry, once again, is lurking about. Like I said, this chapter [...]

Raise your hand if you remembered inside of senile, fragile Abaddon Thrice Evil (aka OG Thrice) is a raging egomaniac every bit as evil and out of control as Avalon Thrice. Oh yeah, he’s still in there. The question is: will he come out? If you’ll recall: not if Jerry has anything to say about [...]

Rolling peas… there’s a metaphor in there somewhere, I’m sure. Just haven’t quite worked it out. Sometimes, you write a thing because it feels right, not necessarily because you know why. SUPERFOGEYS IS LIVE ON WEBTOON! So, I did it. I pulled the trigger. The SuperFogeys is now up on Webtoon, the biggest webcomic site [...]

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 [...]
