Although I didn’t realize it at the time, this was a step in the right artistic direction for the SuperFogeys. The changing camera views were necesitated by the storyline and made for a much stronger reading experience. There’s a little easter egg in this one with the picture of the girl on the wall in [...]
AN EXPLANATION UPDATED This page was originally posted in black and white, but now you should be seeing color. Sorry for that wait! All-in-all, however, another stellar page from T.L. SEIZURE Those of you that follow my twitter feed know that this past Thursday my youngest daughter Cami had a seizure and was rushed to [...]
THE ANNOTATED SuperFogeys 226 See Dr. Rocket first mention his daughter here, then check out her first visual appearance here (look closely). And, of course, we just saw her in SuperFogeys Origins. To find out what the Third Man and Dr. Rocket are talking about, start here. NEW MUSIC Anyone who knows me knows I’m a music-buying fiend. My [...]
ANOTHER ARTIST CLIMBS ABOARD THE SUPERFOGEYS ORIGINS EXPRESS TRAIN Tuesday, as I was rewriting the script (again) for the today’s strip, I got a flash of an idea for an Origin story that I knew I just had to tell. The idea that Tom and Ms. Missile are together (which some of you had [...]

For one discounted price you get first SuperFogeys Graphic Novel, Volume One, and the brand new Space Pig T-Shirt in the size of your choice.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! What are you doing reading this? Go spend time with your family! But, if you insist on reading this…let me just say thanks to all of you for your support and comments and enthusiasm for the SuperFogeys. Wouldn’t be a point to any of it without you. THE SUPERFOGEYS HOLIDAY BUNDLE I posted [...]
A SHORT, SHORT STORY I know this one was quick, but I hope enjoyed this little peek into the beginnings of the relationship between Tom and Ms. Missile. Really, this serves as a direct sequel to this story. In my mind, this is exactly what happened as soon as Tom left that room. In case you [...]
WHAT A WEEK Feel like I’ve been typing nonstop for the last few days so I don’t have too much to say today. The big news this week was theSuperFogeys 2010 Teaser that was posted yesterday. The response was TREMENDOUS. Thanks to everyone who spread that around the Net. Your support is, as always, very [...]
I HAVE BEATEN THE COMPUTER DEMON (with a little help from my friends) So I’m finally back in business. Lost about 10% of my music, but none of my comic and work files. Thank goodness. Big thanks to the amazing IT crew, Johann and Jesse. I would have been in biiiiiig trouble without them. The [...]
THE ANNONTATED SUPERFOGEYS 240 For those wondering, Captain Spectacular is thinking back to something that happened way back in Chapter 5. Click here to see it in its entirety, and click here to see him discuss it. And, hey, remember this? THE QUINTUPLE-SIZED UPDATE THAT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE If you follow me on Twitter, then you [...]
THE NEWS IS BIG THIS WEEK. IT MUST BE REPEATED. In case you missed it on Tuesday… I have a comic in the monthly competition over at Zuda (the webcomics arm of DC Comics). At stake: a one-year contract with DC to keep making my comic. That’s comic’s name? MONSTERPLEX. If you like SuperFogeys, I’ve got [...]
AND THE WINNER OF THE SPY GAL ORIGIN COMPETITION IS…LEE CHEROLIS! I can’t begin to tell you how much fun the past few weeks have been. Seeing one entry after another come in–all those great pinups of Spy Gal–I just got a huge kick out of it. It was also humbling to see how much [...]
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: T.L. COLLINS ENDS HIS RUN ON SUPERFOGEYS ORIGINS I knew this day was coming, but I was hoping to put it off as long as possible. T.L. was the artist that made SuperFogeys Origins possible. The first to say yes and the only one to take it on as a regular gig. Without [...]
MARJORIE RESHEL BREAKS IT ALL DOWN IN HILARIOUS FASHION! Only a true blue SuperFogeys fan could have crafted this. This is a knowing, detailed, mythology and character-rich guest strip that had me laughing out loud for quite a while. Marj is a semi-regular commenter in these parts, but she’s clearly ALWAYS paying attention. She’s a [...]
Congratulations on 5 Amazing Years! I couldn’t be happier to hae such a great webcomic to read and am immensely flattered to be a part of this celebration. The tale of Dr. Rocket’s adoption of Ms. Missile nee L’il Miss Missile nee Nadualia by Benjamin Kissell “So, Dr. Rocket, you never did tell me [...]
Guest Strippin’ Xmas concludes with Marjorie Rishel of Draconis Wicked! Marjorie always does a great job picking some piece of SuperFogeys history and riffing on it and this is no exception. Thanks, Marjorie! Marc and I are back on Monday, Jan. 2. See you in the New Year!
Welcome back to SuperFogeys Origins and SuperFogeys Babies. Today’s page reveals the villain behind the Society of Heroes turning into babies, but if you want a refresher on the story so far, go on back to page one. It’s good stuff. Promise. Big thanks to artist Denver Brubaker and colorist Jeff Couturier. Do yourself 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 [...]
Greetings, Fellow Fogey Fans! Marc here posting while Brock is out of town for the rest of the week on business. While he’s away, we’ll be taking next week off. Regular strips will return on Monday April 21, 2014 when we check in with a Fogey who was greatly affected by the events of the [...]
For Soviet Sam, the journey to this moment has been a long one. I’d encourage you to click on Sam’s name in the tags (or right here) to check out his past appearances to see the full scope of what this hug might mean to him. Infamous Nefarious commented on Monday’s strip (which saw Sam [...]
Marc here with a brand new strip full of Earth (or Earths) shattering information. Both Brock and I thank you for your patience while the dust settles from Brock’s unemployment situation. For the time being, we’ll be scaling back our schedule a bit to accommodate the unexpected curve balls of life. There will be no [...]
Well, it’s finally settled. After six long months SuperFogeys is finally on its way back. With the majority of Chapter 20′s strip in progress or already finished, Marc and I are confident is saying definitively that we will be back with Chapter 20, “Crossing Worlds,” for a three-times-a-week engagement (MWF) starting June 15th! I’ve got [...]
I think I’m finally enjoying writing Dark Maiden. I admit I’ve struggled with her a bit since she came on the scene. Star Maiden was so, so much fun to write and I miss her, but change is good and I knew there had to be a change there. Enter: Dark Maiden. And now, just [...]
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 [...]
So, here’s a thing. How does the call for peace square with the way peace is often achieved? I’ve always been fascinated by those who call for peace at any cost. Pacifism seems like a luxury of our day to me, though increasingly less so. As an American, I’ve been raised with the belief that [...]
This new chapter started out with a mighty punch for the simple reason that I wanted to signal to the reader that this is the kind of chapter you’re in for: a punching chapter full of action and destruction (and a little intrigue). So, of course, given all that, you’ve got to have the moment [...]
I love bad parenting! It’s the best! This strip is interesting because moments before I posted it a day early for SF Patrons on Patreon, I added some additional dialogue. I just didn’t think it was as clear as it could be. Anyone care to guess what the last minute addition is (Marc knows, as [...]
I don’t know that I’ve ever rewritten a single panel quite so much as I rewrote the last panel of this strip. I don’t know if it was worth all that effort, that’s for you to judge, but hey, that’s the kind of care and attention we put in around here at SuperFogeys Central.* Hat [...]
It’s the little things. Like Dr. Rocket and Percy breaking the boundary of the last panel. I love it. You almost don’t notice it, but it perfectly enhances the dynamics of the action in that panel. Little things like that make me happy. THE SWIFTY ORIGIN IS A GO! Good news! The long-awaited origin of [...]
Some strips don’t need words. This is one of them. SUPERFOGEYS 10TH ANNIVERSARY NEXT WEEK! Are you excited for next week? I sure am. Our schedule will be as follows: Monday - SF 700! Tuesday - Special DOUBLE-SIZED Bonus Strip! See how Cap got his new suit! Art by Marc, Words and colors by Brock! Wednesday - Special [...]
Man, I don’t even know what to say. Ten years ago this week I decided to do a little experiment: I’d draw one comic strip a day for five days, just to see if I could do it. The hook of this little comic strip–old superheroes in a nursing home–was given to me by Tad [...]
Maybe you don’t know about the Harrison Ford Finger of Doom. The fact is, in every Harrison Ford movie (yes, ALL OF THEM–I insist), our favorite Han Solo will inevitably point his index finger at someone and it always, ALWAYS portends DOOM. Massive doom. So, in the script for this strip, I actually did ask [...]
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 [...]
Every time I challenge Marc to give SF some sweep and scope… he comes through in spades. I only wish that first panel were bigger so I could get some of those captions out of the way. This whole flashback sequence is gonna really give Marc a chance to shine. I can’t wait for you [...]
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 [...]
Spy Gal sets us up for what the next chapter is about as Jerry stands unseen nearby. If you’re wondering what he’s thinking… well, the rest of this chapter should prove quite revealing. Time for Jerry to do something he’s never done before and just TALK honestly with someone. Spill his guts. Just WHO he [...]
One of the things I love most about the SuperFogeys Vol. 1 collection (available in finer comics stores soon) is the how much the silent strips stand out and add so much to the pacing of the chapters. It took me a long while to start doing them on the regular (the end of Chapter [...]
I know, I know…for years you’ve been wondering: What’s inside Suckface? And now you know and three characters had to pay the price. You’re villains, all of you. SUPERFOGEYS VOL. 1: INACTION HEROES ON SALE NOW! You kickstarted it a year ago and now it’s available for everyone–the 300 page SuperFogeys Vol. 1 collecting chapters [...]
Suckface guts! You wanted to see it, and now you have. And yeah, it’s fair to be worried about Ms. Missile. We are no respecter of characters here at SuperFogeys Central. SUPERFOGEYS VOL. 1: INACTION HEROES ON SALE NOW! You kickstarted it a year ago and now it’s available for everyone–the 300 page SuperFogeys Vol. [...]
It’s been hinted at…it’s been talked about…but we’ve never seen the full-on wrath of Percy. Suckface should shut his mouth (he can’t). See you on Wednesday with 828 – Sorry About the Torture!
We don’t shy away from death in this comic, but this is one instance in which things worked out okay. A harbinger of good things to come? Don’t bet on it. ANOTHER STORY, THIS ONE TRUE I don’t know if I’ve posted about this here, but for the past several months I’ve been releasing a [...]
This episode just looks cool. The canted angles, the coloring, the little inset of Percy’s eyes… It’s just cool. Great job, Marc. Also, can I please do a SuperFogeys Origins story called The History of Earth-Avalon if only so we can see Starbrighter’s turn from hero and back to villain? His hinted-at familiarity with the [...]
A speedster with a broken leg? That can’t be good. See you on Thursday with 877 – The Honor is Hers!
I never get tired of seeing Spy Gal (or, in this case, Avalon Spy Gal) in the white outfit. It just looks so COOL. This is an episode Marc made so much cooler. Originally, I had both Suckfaces kind of grabbing Percy out of the air and throwing him down to the ground, but Marc [...]
Annnnnd we’re back! Officially! It’s been far too long and there’s a LOT that’s happened both in the world and for us personally (and for you, I’ll bet), but SuperFogeys Chapter 24 is officially back on. And, I’m pleased to report, we will be running uninterrupted through the end of this chapter. That means you [...]
Something I’m really excited about is seeing this chapter collected. More than perhaps any other chapter, I wrote it and paced it for the print version. Today’s episode is a prime example of that. It’s especially designed to lead into the next episode and give it maximum impact. May not seem like much in this [...]
