This is it! The big 400th strip! 400 freakin’ strips. Can you believe that? And, like other past centennial strips, this one brings in a pretty big reveal! What do you think of Dark Maiden? This also marks Marc’s 100th SuperFogeys strip. Take that in. That’s amazing. Never late, always getting better and better, Marc [...]
The response to yesterday’s big SuperFogeys 400 has been terrific so far. As a thank you to everyone for sticking with us and being so supportive, Marc has crafted a huge wallpaper from the latest strip and it’s a beaut. Click on the image below to enlarge and download it for yourself. Enjoy!
Marc reminds me with this strip how much fun it is to get out of Valhalla. He rendered the snot out of that alleyway! Those with eyes attuned will recognize the boy’s shirt for what it is. Did you see it? Did you see The Avengers? I saw it at the end of a 6 [...]
Marc rocks the fight scene! This is one of the few times I just got smart and stepped aside and let Marc do his thing without trying to really script what he’s clearly got the instincts for. Life is good, life is hard. I’ve done some heavy duty reflecting this past week and because I [...]
I think this is the first real action strip we’ve seen since Jerry took down the robot in Chapter 12. Reminds me just how GOOD Marc is at the action. Thankfully, there’s tons more action coming up and I’ll get to put Marc through a few more paces. I’ve always referred to The SuperFogeys as [...]
So now you know. Space Monkeys. They’re horrible. There’s been some discussion about what, if anything, makes Captain Spectacular weak. There’s even been some hints here and there and some of you have guessed, but I figured it was time to make it plain. Then I deleted the relevant dialogue from this strip. What remains [...]
How could the Space Monkeys be anything but the Wookiees of the SF universe? Bet ya didn’t see Zurida as the Han Solo. Remember Spy Gal’s solo mission to Zurida’s Palace? Check out the four page, mostly silent tour de force right here!
There’s just one week of this hiatus left! Starting today and through Friday–Guest Strips! Today I bring you this deep dive into arcane continuity from Gwen Patton. Gwen is riffing off of something revealed not too long ago–namely that there are Space Monkey’s and their poo has a strange property that can turn human beings [...]
You didn’t really think Spy Gal was done with Zurida already? Not by a long shot! Be sure to tune in on Wednesday to see how Spy Gal handles that incoming Space Monkey ambush!
I gotta admit I struggled with this one. Remember, Marc and I are doing the end of this chapter Stan and Jack style–he’s drawing from a basic plot, and I’m adding in the dialogue after the fact. It’s definitely fun, but also stressful. I don’t want to take anything away from Marc’s great illustrations. I [...]
A lot of you have been commenting lately that you’re enjoying one of the newer additions to the cast, Fly Guy. Actually, his name is Atomic Fly, but you’re forgiven since his name has only been mentioned once or twice. Hopefully we’ll get see a few more newbies in the strips ahead. Fun fact! I [...]
Silent strip! For those who hate to read. Thanks, Marc, for doing the heavy lifting on this one. Chapter 15 – Invasion, Pt. 2: Inaction Heroes No More! ends on Monday! Chapter 16 – Invasion, Pt. 3: Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun begins on Wednesday!
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 [...]
The Crimson Spelunker has been mostly a background character, but he’s a great design and I always look forward to finding new opportunities to use him. Marc designed a terrific vehicle for him with that driller. Some of you had some questions about Jerry’s escape in the previous strip and the nature of his powers. [...]
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, [...]
Happy Halloween! Right at this moment it’s 1am on an early, early Monday morning and I am freezing my butt off while we shoot, of all things, a treehouse scene about 30 yards away from me. Filmmaking keeps things interesting. Thankfully, my role as DIT (the guy who gets the footage backed up and into [...]
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 [...]
This strip is pretty much a Marc showcase. We went Marvel Method on it, but when I saw the final art I thought he’d done such a beautiful job that I didn’t need get into the mix. See you Wednesday with 824 – Knives Out!
Another major Marc Lapierre showcase as we come back from our brief hiatus–and one of the best. But, we’re spoiling you even more this week. Double-sized episode next time. See you on Wednesday with 832 – The Power of Percy!
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON I’ve seen a lot of questions about how the newly restored Thrice Evil might play into all this, and here’s your first look. He’s so nice! You all were wrong about him, admit it. You owe the man an apology. See you on Tuesday with 911 – The Savior of the [...]
