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 [...]

I just can’t even comprehend the amount of work that had to go into that second panel. Strips may be small, but that deserves blowing up. Wow. I haven’t counted how many characters Marc managed to cram in there, but I know it’s a lot. I script these things but Marc always, always turns it [...]

Every once in a while someone will make a comment about how everything goes back to Jerry. How right they are. 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. [...]

This isn’t any kind of secret, but at the same time I’m not sure anyone has noticed that Swifty is the one character who has not changed one bit since Chapter 1. There’s no arc for him, no softening of his hard edges. Swifty is Swifty. Does that mean he can NEVER change? No, but [...]

Swifty. Nothing if not consistent. If you missed it–and because it’s such a big deal it deserves repeating–Marc’s art was recently used by Marvel without his persmission for their 75th Anniversary television special. All of his friends jumped on this and took to social media and the result was quite surprising. You can read all [...]
