…just as the entire point of Chapter 2 was to justify this one joke. See, I wrote this one as one of the first 10 strips back in the first weeks of the creation of the SuperFogeys. I quickly realized that I couldn’t use it because, uh, hello? Captain Spectacular can’t walk. Thus, Chapter 2 [...]

A huge battle deserves a proper ramp up and that’s what you’ve gotten this week. Next week sees the fight begin in earnest and Marc and I are pulling out all the stops. We’re even approaching things a little differently, with Marc essentially assuming the role of co-plotter for the rest of this chapter as [...]

Hey, Merry Christmas everyone! Can you believe the above piece? I ask Marc very late last week if there was anything he might be able to do for Christmas and he came up with this in record time. I’m so over the moon in love with it. My wife is, too. She’s determined to get [...]

Happy New Year, everybody! As some of you may have noticed, guest strips were a little light this Christmas (thanks again, Crystal Murphy, for steppin’ up!). Marc did a beautiful piece to fill in the gap a bit, and now I thought I’d give it a try with my “guest” strip. How do you do [...]

We keep things pretty solidly rectangular around here, but once in a while there’s an opportunity to do something a little different and Marc took advantage of that here. Oddly enough, panel layout experimentation seems to involve Tangerine more often than not. Go ahead and click on his tag below to see what I mean. [...]

End Chapter 15! This one was fun for us for a number of reasons. New characters… family reunions… fights! Marc and I got to try some new stuff and you guys were really good about being open to it. It’s interesting to me how the comments tapered off during the fight stuff. I mean, it [...]

One of the unique things about Soviet Sam is that before he became part of the main cast, he received an extensive introduction in SuperFogeys Origins. Most of you are familiar with his story from there, but my initial concern in introducing him to the Valhalla story was that there was just too much to [...]

On the surface, this doesn’t look like a terribly personal strip, but I put a secret part of myself into Sam here. As some of you already know, my father was killed in an armed robbery some years ago, when I was just making the transition into adulthood. I was in no way responsible for [...]
