Soviet Sam is a character who has gained more recent prominence in the SuperFogeys story, largely because of the way you all embraced him after his origin story. I’ve had a lot of fun playing with the tortured villain who longs to be a hero. I think Sam is a good representation of one of [...]

Here he is, the man of the hour, President Superknocker. He’s all I hoped for and more. Any resemblance to any Presidents either living or dead is strictly coincidental. These “news strips” come from my love of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Besides being a great story, I love how Miller tells his story [...]

Apologies! Late post today and this time it wasn’t because of my bumbling. We’ve been experiencing some real technical difficulties in SuperFogeys Central lately and though the strip was more than done on time, it was just impossible to post it until now. Ticks me off when this happens because Marc and I work so [...]

Even the strongest of leaders know to fear the might of the Space Pigs. I’m always impressed how Marc is able to fit so many characters into a panel and still leave me room for the dialogue. It’s a real skill to be able to do that. Most artists don’t have a natural instinct for [...]

I think 419 strips is a pretty long ways to go for a superhero to not show off his power, don’t you think? You guys can react however you like, but to me this feels like a triumphant moment. Marc really surprised me with the last panel. I mean, we’re seeing almost nothing of Swifty. [...]

I gotta say… I did not expect this chapter to be this long. 44 strips. That ranks it among the very longest of chapters. I think in that you can see the scope of this Invasion storyline. Everything you’ve seen so far… everything in Part One… it’s all been setup for what’s to come. I [...]

It’s nice to finally, fully reveal the Northern Dissenters. I think they’ve been talked about a lot, but we haven’t seen too much of them. They obviously play a big part in the end of the chapter, but also into the next. I look forward to seeing what you guys make of them. PODCASTING! Marc [...]

This is it! The final scene of this chapter! I really appreciate how Marc staged this one. You know where people are based, primarily, on head turns. Pretty good trick. I also pretty much love Cap’s “not amused” face in panel 2. See you on Wednesday with 683!

Sooner or later, it always comes back around to Cap. I’m tempted to say more than I should about this strip, which gets at some ideas that I think are important and always make for a good discussion, but I think Friday’s strip will prove much more interesting on that front. See you on Friday [...]
