The second panel makes this page for me. The dialogue is pretty consistent with what I originally scripted, but artist Denver Brubaker and colorist Jeff Couturier took it to another level by actually visualizing what Dr. Rocket is describing. I laughed out loud when I saw it. Nice work, guys! That last panel is a [...]

This is it! The penultimate page of SuperFogeys Babies! Next week… the conclusion. However… there’s no way artist Denver Brubaker and colorist Jeff Couturier are going to top this page. When I saw the art for this, my jaw dropped. Hope you guys dig it half as much. Speaking of Denver, once SuperFogeys Babies wraps [...]

Longtime readers know how BIG this is! Dr. Rocket is free once again, but Tom has been locked up for far, far longer. I mean, he was first put there waaaaay back at the end of Chapter 7! I’ve been looking forward to this particular strip for a long, long time. Now, Tom is out. He [...]

Big update to the SuperFogeys Sourcebook and Adventure Game Kickstarter over the weekend–now I can show you the first miniatures. Check it out, Captain Spectacular and Dr. Rocket: How great are those sculpts! Big kudos to sculptor Gene Van Horne for capturing ALL the detail of what up until now was just drawings on a [...]
We’re in the home stretch! The Kickstarter has just one week left to go. Can we hit the $4500 goal? Can we go higher? It’s up to you guys, but I just wanna say already how grateful I am for how you’ve come out and shown your support for this project and for The SuperFogeys. [...]

Castro! The last time we saw our friendly neighborhood dictator was a long, long time ago. His appearance proved so popular he even inspired a T-shirt! (Did you get one? If you have a photo of you in it, I’d love to post it.) I think there’s a whole ‘nother story to be told about [...]

The alien invaders have desired Dr. Rocket for quite a while that they might make him answer for his crimes. As far as the SF Universe is concerned, there’s no one who has done more damage or more wrong than Dr. Rocket. He is an out and out villain. Never pretends to be otherwise. And [...]

I was just looking back at Marc’s first work on SuperFogeys yesterday and it really stuck me not only how far along his line work has come, but also how much his method for coloring has changed. There’s just far more shades and details in his coloring now–things that aren’t even in the drawings themselves. [...]

Here’s a tip to writers of comics: Wanna go easy on your artist? Script a bunch of head shots. Writing comics is often about balance. I can’t load up the detail and the backgrounds for multiple strips at a time or I’m gonna wear Marc out, so I’ve gotta also write stuff that it’s a [...]

One of the things that’s really hard to achieve in the strip format is any sense of scale. A comic book page gives you that vertical space that really allows you to expand the visuals out that a strip just doesn’t. True, there’s nothing saying we HAVE to do this in strips–that’s a self-imposed restriction–but [...]

Last Wednesday’s strip generated some great discussion about what Dr. Rocket and Zurida are up to. Today’s strip should provide those answers handily. Those of you with good memories should recall that Zurida saw Jerry quite clearly when she “visited” Valhalla in the previous chapter. Zurida’s invitation to Dr. Rocket to enter her palace kicks [...]

Merry Christmas, everybody! (For real this time. If you missed our final regular strip of 2013, then you don’t know just how unmerry things got.) Last year, Marc kicked butt with this classic holiday piece. This year, he does himself one better with a spot-on Dr. Suess impression. “How Dr. Rocket Stole Christmas.” Brilliant. This [...]
