UPDATE 11/15/18 This is the LAST DAY to pledge your support! We are over 250% funded at this point and there are so many Kickstarter-exclusive goodies available through our stretch goals for all those who pledge $35 and above that it’s insane. The book is done, it only needs to be printed. And now we [...]
I don’t know about you, but anytime anyone introduces squishiness into my war room, it just makes me mad. See you on Monday!
This episode of Real Talk with Spy Gal brought to you by the usual suspects. See you on Wednesday!
What do you think? Is Cap right? Can anyone be redeemed? On Monday, we hit a big one. 800 strips. And if you think we’re going to celebrate by catching up with Jerry…well, you’re right! But there’s no way you’re prepared for where he is.
There’s a thing happening in this chapter that we just don’t do all that often: decompressed storytelling. Since its widespread mainstream adoption in superhero comics around the turn of the century, I’ve had a bit of a love/hate relationship with decompressed storytelling. On the one hand, you can create more cinematic moments with this style [...]
I just love when Marc gets a chance to cut loose. Fun fact: this strip was done full Marvel Method. I told Marc what basically needed to happen, he drew it, and it was only then I gave any thought to whether or not there should be any dialogue, or what it should say. [...]
Spy Gal doesn’t mess around. See you on Monday with 813 – Villains Landing!
I wonder about guys like Hazmarty there in the first panel. What’s his deal? Why “oh dang” and not “oh damn?” What does he think about being led by all these old fogeys? I realize I’m the writer and I could answer these questions, but we just don’t have time for that as we speed [...]
Bet you didn’t think you were gonna feel sorry for a cannibal today, did you? Didn’t think so. See you on Wednesday with 818 – Attack!
Shamelessly ripped off from Raiders of the Lost Ark? Of course! This is SuperFogeys. We steal and remix. It’s just what we do. See you on Monday with 825 – Yummy Yummy in His Tummy!
Suckface guts! You wanted to see it, and now you have. And yeah, it’s fair to be worried about Ms. Missile. We are no respecter of characters here at SuperFogeys Central. SUPERFOGEYS VOL. 1: INACTION HEROES ON SALE NOW! You kickstarted it a year ago and now it’s available for everyone–the 300 page SuperFogeys Vol. [...]
It’s been hinted at…it’s been talked about…but we’ve never seen the full-on wrath of Percy. Suckface should shut his mouth (he can’t). See you on Wednesday with 828 – Sorry About the Torture!
We don’t shy away from death in this comic, but this is one instance in which things worked out okay. A harbinger of good things to come? Don’t bet on it. ANOTHER STORY, THIS ONE TRUE I don’t know if I’ve posted about this here, but for the past several months I’ve been releasing a [...]
One of the big themes of The SuperFogeys–and one of the big themes of my life, honestly–is that the failures and the tragedies we suffer and the sins we commit don’t have to result in a negative. They can be for our good, and in really powerful way that supersedes what might have been if [...]
Spy Gal! You know not what you do! Story is about to shift into a whole different gear, folks. A whole different gear… See you on Monday with 837 – So?
I hope everybody is staying safe out there and staying home as much as possible. My family and I, we’re on full lockdown. The best minds are telling us that’s the only real way to beat this thing and I believe them. Yes, there are going to be economic consequences, but better that’s better than [...]
This is a day long in coming. The Thrice Evil (Abaddon edition) has been part of the cast since Chapter 2, spending most of his time under Jerry’s control in little more than a vegetative state. He’s come out of it only twice before, once in Chapter 9 and then again in Chapter 22. And [...]
Any day Spy Gal gets to hit someone is a good day! HIATUS! Sadly, we need to take a break. We know with everything going on right now this is probably the worst time for us to bow out, but it’s necessary. This chapter demands our very best and taking a break is the best [...]
WE’RE BACK! FOR ONE WEEK! I know it’s been awhile, but Tuesday, August 11, 2020 sees the print release of SuperFogeys Vol. 1 into comics shops, Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and more, and we couldn’t let this week pass by without a celebration. So, you can look forward to not only an update today, [...]
Secret enmity finally made manifest between Star Maiden and Harvey? Or just an unlucky entry point. You be the judge. TIME FOR A BREAK Thanksgiving is next week and we’re gonna take just a brief break to enjoy the holidays with our families before returning. More SuperFogeys goodness coming right quick! See you on Tuesday, [...]
The power crystal…no more.
Yep, that’s really it. The Pilatian Power Crystal is no more. After all that sturm und drang. But, you guys…are you ready for a look at the inner workings of Star Maiden’s mind? I know you are. See you on Thursday with 863 – In the Starry Mind Space!
The roots of this scene, emotionally speaking, can be found right at the tail end of Chapter 17. Man, we are so excited to finally be doing this chapter. These events have been planned for a long, long time…
I don’t know what it is, but that second panel is something particularly special. The hair whipping about, the angle on Dark Maiden’s face, the energies swirling around her…there’s a whole energy there. Other than that, there’s nothing good happening here. Look for Spy Gal’s unexpected response next week. See you on Tuesday with 870 [...]
The most brilliant moment in Raiders of the Lost Ark is when Indiana Jones just straight up shoots a guy who’s spoiling for a fight. He doesn’t have time for that garbage and neither does the movie. Sometimes, you just don’t have the time nor patience to play games.
I think the position is defensible here, even if the math is all wrong. Dark Maiden is talking about, what, a dozen deaths? As opposed to the billions who live on the Earth? Maybe it’s Spy Gal’s math that’s all wrong?
Is Marc simply the best illustrator of action in webcomics? I would argue yes. And the crazy thing is, I didn’t know that about him when I asked him to pick up SF where I left off! His work on his own comic never suggested anything close to this kind of thing. To watch his [...]
Status quo change for Star Maiden? Yeah, you might say that. But, what is this Star Maiden even like? You’ll find out soon… See you on Thursday with 875 – Much More Impressive!
It only took us 880 episodes, but you FINALLY get to meet the real Star Maiden. At least, the real Star Maiden in old age. She seems nice! See you on Thursday with 881 – Minutes Away!
Someone on Webtoon commented that there’s no way we’d bring the true Star Maiden back only to kill her off immediately. Uh… See you on Tuesday with 882 – Says You!
I hope everyone is enjoying this action-heavy chapter because the one little tidbit I’ll let slip about the NEXT chapter is that is that it is a radical shift from what we’re doing here. Expect not so much of the punchy-punchy and the slammy-slammy. Which is not the same as saying the next chapter will [...]
We all know Marc just keeps getting better and better as an illustrator, but his increasing facility with color should not be overlooked. Look at the gorgeousness. LOOK AT IT. See you Tuesday with 884 – No Good at This!
UPDATE!!!! Well, this is strange! Our website has been down for nearly two full years, and now suddenly it’s just come roaring back to life. And just in time. Marc and I have almost completed work on this chapter and will be launching it soon. In the meantime, I just uploaded the 40+ episodes we [...]
This is one of those moments I thought up a looonnng time ago. It’s so nice when it exceeds your expectation, visually. Spy Gal has been linked to a few other Fogeys over the years (not to mention the fact that she’s still married to Jerry…wherever he is), and I’ll be honest that when I [...]
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON It’s been a long time coming, but finally, Jerry has returned. And what a return it is. If you think everything has changed, you’re right. We’re in the SuperFogeys endgame now, and we are pulling out all the stops. Comicking on this level is not easy to produce. Support the comic [...]
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Thanks so much for the great response to last week’s big SF 900. What a milestone. And yes… Jerry is BACK! And in a big way. After being offstage for so long, the rest of this chapter will be about him in a big way. Strap in, folks. See you on [...]
Dawn finally just broke…but of course Jerry had to screw it all up and travel 2,000 miles away where it’s all dark again. Ugh. That guy is the worst. Any guesses what he’s up to yet? See you on Tuesday with 907 – Where is Sam?
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Jerry speaks! It’s one word, but still! Before this chapter, I don’t think anyone would have described Jerry as “slow to speak,” but here we are. As for Sam…anyone think Jerry would take the ultimate step there? See you on Thursday with 908 – Torture!
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Man. My heart is full. Of GRATITUDE. Jerry is the best. Also the best: artist Marc Lapierre. Anyone else think that last panel is scary good? See you on Tuesday with 913 – Any Questions?
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON That one guy is lucky to be alive. Insulting Jerry’s wardrobe like that? He plays with fire. And bulky neckwear NEVER goes out of style. Thankfully, Jerry is much more considerate of his friends. Maybe the Fogeys can finally, once and for all, RETIRE. Right? See you on Tuesday with 915 [...]
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Back to Valhalla! It’s seen better days, of course. I’m with Jerry. This is just a sad, sad episode. See you on Thursday with 916 – Restoration!
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Shiny and new! With…a few improvements, no? Who else is feeling a happy ending coming on?? See you on Thursday with 918 – Not Going in There!
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON I’ll tell you what, I didn’t fully appreciate Swifty when I created him. I was a little annoyed by him, to be honest. But I’ve come to love him. This episode is more of a transition to what comes next than it is anything else, but what to do when you [...]
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON How weird is that? The return of the old uniforms, old looks. (In Swifty’s case, REALLY old.) Unless I miss my guess, the majority of the episodes Marc has drawn (more than twice as many as I ever did) the Fogeys were in their One Year Later outfits. To see him [...]
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Is this the darkest SuperFogeys episode ever? Probably not, but there’s something that’s so, so unsettling about the way Marc pulled off that last panel. Jerry is…well, he’s Jerry, isn’t he? See you on Tuesday with 921 – Obedience is Key!
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON This is it! The penultimate episode of this chapter. The Fogeys, back in Valhalla. Jerry, back in power. All is as it should be, no? See you on Thursday with 922 – The New Normal!
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Whew. When Marc and I set to out to tackle this, our longest chapter BY FAR (more than twice the length of the previous record holder, Chapter 12), I don’t think either of us realized how daunting it would really be. We’ve really gone some places with this one, haven’t we? [...]
