Hey everyone, I want to take away from today’s strip (I count at least two revelations! One I’m pretty sure some of you saw coming, and one I don’t think anyone did), but I wanted to let you know about a little situation here at SuperFogeys Central. Unfortunately, in a double whammy, my wife and [...]

He may disappear for a chapter on some crazy, worldwide scavenger hunt, but still he lurks. He underlines everything in this story. It’s always been that way and it always will be. Had a [...]

I know some of you have objections to the way these flashbacks are playing out, and that’s okay. Chapter’s not over yet. A flashback heavy strip like today deserves a few annotations. [...]

All of his friends jumped on this and took to social media and the result was quite surprising. You can read all [...]

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? [...]
