The Pig is the minister! That’s the payoff to the Space Pig’s WebSpace page. Don’t know how many people picked up on that. I had a lot of fun with this page. Designing the Ninja Bridesmaid was particularly fun.

Commentary I am nothing if not patient. I created Tangerine quite a while ago. In fact, his actual first appearance is on the cover of the first SuperFogeys book and in the bonus story of that same book as drawn by Mike Hartigan. Each of the SuperFogeys are pretty much analogues for characters in either the [...]

Commentary This is one of those rare strips that I think is pretty good, both visually and from a story standpoint, but that has a pretty weak punchline. There’s just something so obvious about that last panel. What I do like a lot is the unconventional paneling. I don’t remember exactly how I hit on the [...]

COMMENTARY Look at the detail in that darkened warehouse! I kid. If you look closely at the third panel you’ll see that Dictator Tot has tossed aside a small device. I didn’t have room to explicitly state it, but the idea is that she was using that device to make it appear as though she [...]

MOTHER OF AN EPISODE So little dialogue…so much drawing…and I don’t like any of it. I’ve gotten slammed in the past for being too critical of my work. Whenever I get into that mode, people usually do one of two things: either 1) defend my work against me and my wonderful insecurities or 2) tell [...]

Despite the fact that he’s made scant few appearances over the years and that this was his last appearance in the strip proper, Mega Matt has proved an enduringly popular character ’round these parts. Is it his sweet outfit? His constantly broken nose? I dunno. But I don’t think a week goes by that someone [...]

And now you know how Matt got started on his path to greatness and injury. Big, BIG thanks to artist Marjorie Rishel for her fine rendering of some pretty disparate locales. I kind of put her through the wringer with this story. Ever met a dragon? I pretty much have. New blog up at brockheasley.com: [...]

The modern day Society of Heroes team has a long and spotty history in these parts. I’ve never really detailed what their origin story is (the one separate from the original Society of Heroes) or why they are the way are. Maybe someday I’ll get to do that in an origin. Suffice it to say, [...]

Okay, I kind of love the Society of Heroes now. Why didn’t I ask Marc to draw them before? He does such a great job and I’m finding a lot of new life in them as characters seeing them through his eyes. Once upon a time, SuperFogeys Origins was going to be a modern day [...]

I’m trying to remember the last time I did a strip this wordy… and I’m coming up short. As usual, Marc finds a way to make it work anyway. I’m really digging writing for villains lately as well. There’s been a dearth of them up til now. And Star Maiden. Half the fun of any [...]

I’ve probably said it before, but pacing doesn’t get enough attention as one of the big keys to comic-making. Bad pacing can ruin a comic and make it unintelligible. Marc had a great idea with this strip and added the beat in the second panel to what was originally scripted as a three panel strip. [...]

A spot at the table in the Great Hall of the Society of Heroes. And now, dead. Your superhero career was short lived… just like you. [...]

Marc went with a very-different-than-normal approach to this strip and it works like gangbusters. (Which is an expression I’ve never really understood. If gangbusters work so well, why do don’t we have less gangs?) Fairly big shakeup today. And you thought Monday’s strip was big. Only two strips left in this chapter! Come back for [...]
