THE ANNOTATED SPY GAL’S SECRET MISSION This was a story that was a bit of an experiment and was a challenge for both me and artist Cory Thomas (Go read Watch Your Head!) If you can’t tell already (and if you can’t then you must be brand, brand new to the strip–hey, welcome!), I kind [...]

DOWN DRUNK You ever seen this show What Would You Do? It’s not great art, but I do believe it performs a great service. They stage these scenarios—boyfriend publically abusing girlfriend, racist store clerk giving some darker than hims a hard time, bottom rung human being spiking a girl’s drink in a bar and then trying to take her [...]

UPDATE! MY mini-REVIEW OF THOR! Marvel has done a great job with their "in universe" movies Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2. I’ve loved each of them to one degree or another, but a fair argument could be made that we’ve been getting slightly diminishing returns the more they keep doing it. [...]

WELCOME BACK! (First time here? Can’t remember what’s going on? Skip down to the recap.) I know… I know… you thought this would never happen. You thought we’d forgotten all about SuperFogeys. You thought we were too busy to continue telling this story to completion. Well… not gonna lie, there were a few times over [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I love the detail of the action here. When all read together, the “silent action” of the past few strips will hold up pretty well. Marc’s spatial awareness as an artist is top notch, allowing him to craft some truly terrific fight scenes. Trust me, only gets better from here. 10th ANNIVERSARY OVER! And hey, [...]

One of Thrice Evil’s more frightening powers–one that we’ve seen demonstrated before–is his ability to induce (often horrific) seemingly real-life visions in the minds of others. Percy is only the latest victim. He won’t be the last. And… just to drop a hint… could there be a false image we’ve seen since this alternate Thrice [...]

As we enter the last four or five strips of this chapter, Marc and I find that our buffer has run out and we’re really pushing the deadlines hard. I’m excited to see this chapter come to and end and how the ending points to what’s ahead, but I’m also sad to see it happen [...]

Here’s a pairing that never occurred to me until I did it: Gina Galloway and Percy–the two children (of Portalmaker [aka Alt. Jerry] and Captain Spectacular, respectively) who don’t have counterparts on either Earth. Makes me wish I’d thought of doing it sooner! JERRY Jerry, once again, is lurking about. Like I said, this chapter [...]

Mega Matt. Boy if there’s one character who I think went from fan favorite to kind of… annoying, I think it’s him. I don’t know what it was, exactly, but I remember readers really loving Matt in the Society of Heroes origin story, but it seems the more I used him in the main story [...]

Double-sized strips return! Marc decided to pull out all the stops for this one, and it shows. I don’t think he gets enough credit for his stellar work on this comic. Without him, I simply wouldn’t have been able to giving SF the scope it now has. This is pretty mild, as double-sized strips go–it’s [...]
