Commentary Ah, the proposal. I think this veers towards the sitcomish, but I like it for one reason: that we stay on Jerry the whole way through. Jerry doesn’t say a word, but he has his own little George-Bailey-Welcoming-Home-His-Brother-At-The-Train-Station moment, a brilliant bit of acting by Jimmy Stewart in It’s A Wonderful Life in which he [...]

Commentary Okay, I admit it. I goofed. There’s a huge continuity error here and I didn’t realize it until months later. Spy Gal states in panel 2 that they had been engaged before. The thing is…I made it pretty clear in the flashback for Chapter 3 that they hadn’t. Captain Spectacular was PLANNING to propose, [...]

Commentary Ugh. Another butt-ugly strip. I think I’m starting to realize that this was a bit problem for me in Chapter 5 – too many strips trying to do too much. Dr. Rocket’s gift-giving continues here. Of particular note is the peanut butter cookie he gives Captain Spectacular. That’s actually a follow-up to a bonus [...]

Commentary Oh, this is just the ultimate slam. Captain Spectacular is definitely a “lives in the moment” kind of guy. I just couldn’t resist kicking Jerry when he’s down. He doesn’t speak, but again he communicates a lot. This strip is also one of the first indications that Cap and Doc were once friends, [...]

COMMENTARY I felt like, with two and half years behind me and being in the middle of a complicated (in comparison, anyway), back-and-forth chapter like this one that I needed to take a minute to acknowledge just what the heck was going on. Spy Gal is admittedly making some leaps in logic here, but it’s [...]

COMMENTARY One of the more awkwardly organized strips I’ve done, design-wise. The balloons in the second panel just would not fit in a natural way. In comics, you generally want the person speaking first on the left side of the panel and the next person to the right of them and so on. Usually, I [...]

COMMENTARY When I created Tangerine about two years prior to the strips on this page being drawn, this strip and the one above were in my original notes. Tangerine’s entire personality was then extrapolated from these two conversations with Jerry. The Pink Shade is a character that gets referenced now and again, but her actual [...]

COMMENTARY Arachno is supposed to be an analogue to Spider-Man. He’s probably too dead-on in name to every make an actual appearance, but he provides a good shorthand here to illustrate just how unusual the public turning against him was to the Captain.

COMMENTARY This is maybe one of the most economical and tragic things I’ve ever written. Really, the intent was to begin really breaking down Tangerine’s character, but Captain Spectacular got swept up in that tide as well as we see his fatal character flaw—when things are going well, the Captain does just fine. When things [...]

COMMENTARY I had to do a bit of a storytelling shuffle to keep Tangerine away from Dr. Rocket until this point in the story. I love his entrance here. In particular, I loved doing the growling drawing of Tangerine. The red color isn’t meant to suggest that Tangerine can actually turn red—it’s just an artistic [...]

A SURPRISE VISITOR! Yeah, you all tried to guess who it was going to be and no one got it right. But I set you up for failure. I’m mean like that. Today’s strip kicks Bubbles of Light into high gear. Crazy fun ahead. THE SUPERFOGEYS AT RECESS Was hanging out with my daughter Elora (7-years-old [...]

REMIND ME TO DO/NOT DO THAT AGAIN… Today’s strip is another example of a time when my reach has exceeded my grasp. As both writer and artist, I have the luxury of scripting things that I know I can draw. But, every once in a while, I bring the story to a point where I [...]

WORKING BACKWARDS Typically, I write a script before drawing a strip. That’s logical, right? Well, with this one, for whatever reason, I drew it first. Oh sure, I had an idea about what the strip should be about. I always outline chapters strip-by-strip. I think my outline for this strip was something like “Captain Spectacular [...]

by Brock Heasley on November 30th, 2010THANK YOU, MICHAEL ODOM! I love this little 3-pager. I know you guys kind of run hot and cold on the smaller, lighter stories, but I love them both because they provide a breather and because they’re always a chance for me to experiment a little. Whether it’s to try my hand at a twisted version [...]

MONSTER I’ll tell you what’s a monster–THIS STRIP! I knew for a while how I wanted to handle the monster, but when it came to doing it–that was another bit of business altogether. This reminded me a lot of my first foray into comics making with the art of inking. I really love inking other [...]

DID YOU SEE THE NEW SUPERFOGEYS ORIGIN? Two days ago, a brand new SuperFogeys Origin started with art by Steve “Moon Town” Ogden, featuring none other than The Thrice Evil. Many of you went over the moon for Steve’s artwork and requested wallpapers for your desktops. Well, Steve is such a nice guy that he went ahead [...]

For now, we have Javier’s Christmas-themed take and I think you’ll agree that it’s a lot of fun. Thanks, Javier! Great cliffhanger at the end of the page there. [...]
