I really love how Marc is coloring these night scenes. I’d have probably (stupidly) used black. Marc is smarter than me. I appreciate all the great comments about how much (in general) you’re enjoying this latest chapter. It’s far and away the longest one yet and that’s very much on purpose, but it can strain [...]

New to SuperFogeys? Then you’ve come on the right day. Though the invaders first arrived at Earth in SF 400, this is the first time their overall plan has been spelled out. We’ve known their motivation–Dr. Rocket made a genocidal sweep of the universe in a merciless act of vengeance–but their goal has been somewhat [...]

I confess the speculation last week’s strip inspired caught me unawares. It didn’t even occur to me that Zurida’s words in the last panel might be construed to mean that she was suggesting another mastermind behind everything. Obviously, that’s not exactly the case. Of course, there IS another mastermind lurking somewhere and we’ll meet him [...]

The end of a chapter is my favorite part. It’s when everything comes together and the design of the thing is made clear. The chapter basically has three endings. You’ve seen one already, but this next one coming up should be obvious to longtime readers with good memories. But it’s the third ending I’m REALLY [...]

If there’s something you want that you’ll do just about ANYTHING to have it… then what would you do to keep it? I feel like the tide is always shifting on Jerry. Sometimes you guys love him, sometimes you hate him. I wonder if today’s strip will garner reactions just as divisive. Huge kudos to [...]

UPDATE 2! Since this time travel business has been woven so much into the background of the story of the SuperFogeys (and time travel can be kind of confusing), I want to help point you guys towards the right places as much as possible. Some of you are wondering WHY this is happening, and I [...]

Many of you have been commenting on how calm Spy Gal has been so far in this chapter and how scary that makes her. I think whenever someone is behaving in a manner contrary to how we expect, that can be a little concerning. If a child knows he’s done wrong and he knows his [...]

In addition to the usual miracles Marc does with the art in each strip, in this one he went a little further and chose much better angles than I originally scripted. Sometimes I try to think of the version of SuperFogeys that would exist if I was still drawing it and it’s… better that didn’t [...]

Have ever been in trouble–and I mean big time–and you thought there was still a way out of it? I mean, there’s caught and then there’s caught. If your sin is big enough, you might deny, deny, deny–even to the point of convincing yourself. You’ve done nothing wrong. They must just be mistaken. Maybe you [...]

I’ve talked a little bit about Jerry’s “underlying psychology” in the comments to recent strips. Any three dimensional character should really have an underlying psychology to their actions, i.e. motivations that even they themselves may not be aware of. It’s called depth and it can be really tough to create. Every writer tries to instill [...]
