NEW TALL TALE RADIO INTERVIEW! To celebrate SuperFogeys 200 and a few other things, Tom Racine interviewed me last week and we had a blast. I think this is a good one. I was very careful about inappropriate laughter and even reduced my number of “ums” per minute by 75%! Heck yeah! Tom puts it [...]
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY WRAP-UP! What a whirlwind of a weekend. Not only did my brother get married on Friday, but I was also recovering from food poisoning and attended my first Free Comic Book Day as a comic creator. I arrived with my wife Erin and eldest daughter Elora at 9:40am at Heroes Comics [...]
T.L. COLLINS AND THE AIDS WALK/RUN Hey all, just wanted to let you know about this great thing SuperFogeys Origins Artist T.L. Collins is doing. Show him some support, won’t you? (UPDATED WITH LINKS!) BUBBLES OF LIGHT A SuperFogeys Origins/SuperFogeys crossover? Yep. Wondering how they sync up? Well, the Bubbles of Light have shown up before. [...]
PACING Pacing is an important aspect of the art form that is comics, thought not heavily examined. How do you get a reader to slow down or speed up when they can pretty much take things in as quickly or as slowly as they desire? I don’t pretend to really know the answer to that [...]
A PEACOCK NAMED ARISTOTLE Okay, this is just too weird not to share. There I am, just minding my own business at work and taking a brief break to check out Facebook. I notice that my wife has posted something new. I look closely. I can’t be seeing what I’m actually seeing, can I? I click [...]

SOVIET SAM and T.L. COLLINS Welcome back, T.L. Collins! More than any other artist, T.L. defines what a SuperFogeys Origin should look like. We haven’t seen him grace these “pages” since 2009, but he comes back in a big way with this 8-page Soviet Sam story. Sam is a character we’ve only glimpsed briefly in the [...]
WELCOME TO SUPERFOGEYS ORIGINS, CHRIS WATKINS! I have nothing but good things to say about my collaboration with Chris Watkins. Not only has he been a dream to work with, but the storytelling choices he makes and the very defined, cartoony spin he puts on things leaves me a bit jealous. And those colors! Chris’s [...]
BOOM. ACTION. Chris Watkins turns it out in fine style today. Looking solely at his work on Odori Park, I don’t think you’d ever guess that Chris could handle action like he does at the end of this page. It’s just so, so great. MY BOOK HAS PASSED ITS BIGGEST TEST SO FAR There’s one person [...]
COLORS Man, I love Chris’s colors on this one. So bright and perfect for the time period (late 1960′s). Be sure and check out his webcomic, Odori Park! BIG THINGS IN THE WORKS I’ve got some HUGE stuff in the works for SF right now and that leaves me with little time to compose a post [...]
I’M A FATHER! (AGAIN!) Those of you that follow me on Facebook know good and well by now that my third daughter, Violet, was born without a hitch last Friday morning. Things truly could not have gone better and her mother and I are so, so relieved. A lot of people asked me in the [...]
CONTINUALLY IMPRESSED I’m still amazed that with each new page of this story Chris Watkins continues to top himself. This page rocks and serves as a perfect lead-in to the major revelations in store for next week. But, like most things in SuperFogeys, I’ll bet many of you have figured it out already from the trail [...]
WHO SAYS I’M WORDY? I can be a wordy sonuvagun, it’s true. But one thing I’ve been working on a lot lately is trying to pare down my word counts in the comics (not here in my comments though–I’m not that merciful). Comics are very much the interplay between words and pictures (not strictly speaking, [...]
AN APOLOGY You may have noticed the today’s SFO page looks a little different than the ones that have come before it. What you’re looking at is what’s called flats–just the very basic colors have been laid into the art. What’s missing is the rendering, which is what really makes art like this sing. Click [...]
UPDATE: Yes, the site is broken. We are deeply sorry. The newest comics are always published on our Patreon, and you can view this particular comic right here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/swifty-origin-pg-19339505. Hopefully, this will all be cleared up soon. The Pink Shade! Now we’re getting somewhere! No Swifty Origin would be complete without diving into his history with [...]

Hey everybody, I know the main site is still broken and comics aren’t displaying. The is the worst breakdown we’ve ever had and I hope it’s fixed soon. Thank you for your patience. Please, please head over to this link on Patreon to see it. While Marc and I appreciate your support monetarily through that [...]
Hey everybody! Yup, the site is STILL broken. So. Aggravating. I wish I knew when the solution will present itself, but once again you can see the latest page on Patreon for free right here. If you do want more SuperFogeys goodness, a fair bit of our archive is still going up over on Webtoon, [...]
UPDATE: Working now! I’m sure you’re all as tired of this as I am by now, but yes, the site is still broken. As usual, you can find the latest page for free on Patreon. This is a pretty important page, so I’m especially disappointed it doesn’t get to go where it belongs. Your patronage, [...]
Nice to have the site back! Especially for this page.
Thus endeth the Swifty Origin. What did you guys think?
Surprise! We’re going on hiatus, but T.L. felt bad that a couple of pages were a little late and so he worked up this AWESOME Swifty Origin cover as an apology! How cool is that? THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SWIFTY ORIGIN The Swifty Origin was in the works for a long, long time before it got [...]
