I never tire of writing Percy. I don’t care if no one else loves him, he’s one of my faves. THE GALLOWS BLACK CARPET EVENT I’ll make this quick because I’m short on time, but the movie I worked on, The Gallows, had its big Black Carpet Event in Fresno a couple days ago. I [...]

Ah… love. Sweet love. Jerry and Spy Gal…. couple of the century, ladies and gentlemen. Busier than I should be over here so I’m making this brief. Happy Wednesday, everybody. See you on Friday with 660 – “Concentrate!”

Hey, welcome back to another week of Chapter 20. What’s everybody think of Chapter 20 so far? One of my goals for this chapter was to get the Fogeys back into each other’s orbits so they could talk to each other and interact. The gap year really sent everyone to the four winds and that’s [...]

Ooooohhhh… the rare, coveted all-silent strip. But an important one. For the first time, Jerry uses his power in a whole new way. Trust me, after this, nothing will be the same. CHAPTER 20 DRAWING TO A CLOSE This chapter has got about 12 strips left in it and then SuperFogeys will be back on [...]

This is the big moment we’ve been ramping up to (and fearing) for several chapters now. Alt. Thrice Evil. On Earth-Abbadon. It doesn’t get scarier. There’s nothing holding him back now. See you on Monday with 676 – “Jerry, Meet Thrice Evil”

This week and next week probably constitute my favorite moments in this chapter. Jerry meeting Alternate Thrice Evil is a big, big moment. Thrice has influenced and shaped Jerry in a truly twisted way. How much of that is Jerry’s fault? How much of his life is due to his own decisions? These are important [...]

For those of you who can’t remember (and who can??), the Lodge of Doom from Earth-Avalon came over to the more familiar Earth-Abbadon. Most of them immediately headed up North, but two stayed behind, Starbrighter and Evil Tangerine. They, obviously, are looking for Jerry for… reasons. Money Man–this Money Man, anyway–is also from Earth-Avalon. He [...]

One of the more annoying things journalists do in mainstream publications is accompany any article about comics-related topics with a lazy headline cribbed from the fight scenes of the old Batman television show from the 60′s. Like, “Biff! Bam! Pow! Superhero Movies are Hotter Than Ever!” or some such inanity like that. But those same [...]

Longtime SuperFogeys fans will remember the original Money Man both from his brief origin in the very first SuperFogeys Origins story, and for his key role in putting the Society of Heroes together. And, of course, his untimely death. The man featured in today’s strip is not that man. He comes from another world where [...]

Even down and broken Money Man kicks butt! Rendered in indomitable fashion, as always, by one Mr. Marc Lapierre. Marc shines at action, as we all know, but wait until you see what he has cooked up for… SF 700! It took him over a week to complete, but Marc just turned in the final [...]

I love this. I love that it takes Money Man–a character usually identified (correctly) as a Batman analogue–and makes him Iron Man. Hilarious alternate take. This comes to us from Alethea Lim, a frequent commenter round these parts under the name “Alecat.” Thanks, Alethea, for being such a great fan! You did SF proud. 10th [...]

One of things I did a lot of in the early days of the strip was drop little hints of the characters’ back stories through dialogue or a look. Some of those hints got turned into full fledged stories through the SuperFogeys Origins series–a lot of them, actually. What’s fun now is that with the [...]

If you’re a longtime fan you know today’s strip carries a lot of weight. This is, of course, the Money Man from an alternate dimension, but it’s also the Money Man we’ve spent the most time with. It’s a grisly death, but even more than the admittedly visceral impact of that last panel, it’s the [...]

No, this wasn’t “our” Money Man, but he was the Money Man Sam spent the most time with. Still, he came in late. I remember when my dad died. I had been away from home for a while and when I returned for the funeral there were those present whom I didn’t know–those who had [...]
