Hey, I’m back! Had a nice little break there and now I’m back in full force (though I’ve been active in the comments and in posting blogs), ready to provide the regular dose of inanity for you to skip over on your way down to the comments. Today’s strip is a reveal I’ve been looking [...]
Did you hear the big news? SuperFogeys is now on Comixology! We’ve been working on this for what seems like forever and I’m so glad it’s finally, FINALLY real. You can get all the details right here in yesterday’s blog. Please help support SF! Don’t forget there’s a new SuperFogeys Origins page on Friday. This [...]
Just for the record: this is 100% what I would do if I ever went to the White House. What woman doesn’t like to hear she’s sane? Hey! Guess what? SuperFogey is a featured free comic on Comixology! How cool is that? Don’t forget to rate the book if you pick it up!
This isn’t any kind of secret, but at the same time I’m not sure anyone has noticed that Swifty is the one character who has not changed one bit since Chapter 1. There’s no arc for him, no softening of his hard edges. Swifty is Swifty. Does that mean he can NEVER change? No, but [...]
I challenge you to not love Marc’s Carl Sagan-esque redesign of Dr. Rocket. You can’t do it. Zurida’s pretty smokin’ as well. Enough of that! Did you see our latest blog? Marvel used some of Marc’s art for their 75th Anniversary television special without his permission. This is a thing that happened! Well, Marc’s friends [...]
Swifty. Nothing if not consistent. If you missed it–and because it’s such a big deal it deserves repeating–Marc’s art was recently used by Marvel without his persmission for their 75th Anniversary television special. All of his friends jumped on this and took to social media and the result was quite surprising. You can read all [...]
Ever wonder what the Earth-Avalon Nurse Carter would be like? Well, it doesn’t matter if you did or not because here she is. Of course the real news is all this death and destruction. It’s terrible. We can’t lose Captain Spectacular II, ON THIS OR ANY OTHER WORLD! COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU… A [...]
Writing–and seeing–two different Soviet Sams is a lot of fun. They are basically completely different characters. Also a lot of fun is General Will vs. Captain Spectacular. One man with all the power who struggles to be the hero, the other with none of the power who takes his heroing seriously. Next week: Spy Gal [...]
Great scene setting in the first panel. Just looks epic. Nice work, Marc. SUPERFOGEYS ON FACEBOOK Did you know SuperFogeys has a page on Facebook? Be sure and like us there to get news of all the latest updates! See you on Friday with 669 – “Press Conference, Interrupted!”
Double-sized goodness! And so soon after the last one. This strip basically marks the third act of this chapter. We’re in the home stretch now! See you on Monday with 670 – “Maybe They’re Just Stopping By For a Cup of Coffee”
I really hope everyone is checking out SuperFogeys on Comixology. I truly feel like that’s the ideal reading experience. Case in point: today’s strip. Thrice Evil has a plan, and I think if you read the past couple of chapters in collected form that plan is really, really obvious. But as it is right here? [...]
Swifty is back! It’s actually been awhile since he was in the same time and dimension as the other Fogeys, believe it or not. He only briefly returned after the one year time jump, but then shuttled off to Earth-Avalon almost immediately. He was great fun over there, but I’ve missed having the guy around [...]
There’s more to come from Star Matron meeting Dark Maiden, but this is a fun primer. Marc did some fun stuff in this one. I love Starbrighter’s reaction in panel 2. Not hard to picture that one animated. MY CRAZY WEEKEND So, like a lot of you, I have family coming into town for Christmas. [...]
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 [...]
How’s everyone’s new year going so far? Things are already looking up for me. New opportunities are presenting themselves and it’s looking like 2017 will be a good one. Hope to share some of that with you all at some point. But how are you? This chapter is coming to a close fairly soon. +10 [...]
I’m trying to imagine what it would be like to meet a much more successful, put together version of myself at one of my lowest points. I… think that would be pretty awful, actually. President Reed means well, but is he really the best guy to be talking to Sam right now? END OF CHAPTER [...]
Aaaannnnnndddd that’s a wrap, folks! Chapter 21, “Death and Destruction,” is in the can. Wanna read it from the beginning? Start right here! I don’t know if I’m right about this, but I THINK this was our most action heavy chapter yet. For a strip that eschewed action for years, that’s not saying much, I [...]
I’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes that I regretted so deeply I didn’t know if I’d ever deserve good things again. In those moments I try to remember that we are not the sum total of our mistakes. They may overwhelm our memory, but they don’t have to overwhelm who we are. Each of us [...]
Hey, we’ve all been there, right? You’re a megalomaniacal, insecure villain in love with the greatest super spy of all time, you see her flirting with the transdimensional alternate version of the guy your true love has been making goo-goo eyes at, you walk in on that big, burly President of the Alternate-U.-S.-of-A. giving your [...]
HOW DARE SHE! Did Jerry deserve it? Is Spy Gal overreacting? Can this tear in their marriage be mended? Your thoughts below! See you on Wednesday with 751 – Who Do You Think Paid for All This?
The match-up you’ve been waiting for! But, as someone mentioned last week, kind of hard to have a “vs.” if the other guy is more interested in rolling his peas. WEBTOON UPDATE Well, SF has been on Webtoon for nearly a week now and we’ve amassed (as of this writing) 70 subscribers. That’s 70 new [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody! My wife HATES Valentine’s, so this is quite the relaxing day for me. THE BATTLE OF FRESNO It’s long been hinted at and talked about… but it’s finally time for Soviet Sam to talk about the tragedy of the Battle of Fresno. Just… not right away. In this chapter though, for [...]
FINALLY! It’s time to talk about that missing year. Several chapters back, The SuperFogeys leaped forward one year in its own timeline to find the world much changed. Zurida had conquered the U.S., the Fogeys had once again become the Society of Heroes and were now living in what’s left of California, Soviet Sam was [...]
Welcome back? Did you miss us? I know it was a short hiatus (only one week), but there’s just something wrong about a week without SuperFogeys. THE EYE PATCH I’ve been looking forward to revealing the significance of Sam’s eye patch ever since we made the jump to one year later. This harrowing tale of [...]
Not gonna lie. This episode is pulling from a pretty personal place for me. Not that I think I’m unique. We all face down failure, most of us over and over again. I think about it a lot–whether I’m kidding myself to have hope that things will get better after I’ve failed so much and [...]
We’re getting so very near the end of this chapter and I’ll be sad to see it go. We’re due for another hiatus, but more than that I just really enjoy these chapters that focus so very much on character. The next one is another culminating chapter that will… well, we’ll get there. SWIFTY ORIGIN [...]
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 [...]
