Did you hear the big news? SuperFogeys is now on Comixology! We’ve been working on this for what seems like forever and I’m so glad it’s finally, FINALLY real. You can get all the details right here in yesterday’s blog. Please help support SF! Don’t forget there’s a new SuperFogeys Origins page on Friday. This [...]
Just for the record: this is 100% what I would do if I ever went to the White House. What woman doesn’t like to hear she’s sane? Hey! Guess what? SuperFogey is a featured free comic on Comixology! How cool is that? Don’t forget to rate the book if you pick it up!
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 [...]
Today’s strip kind of unlocks a big piece of the puzzle and I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys make of it. 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. [...]
Man, this is a real trip down memory lane. Longtime readers will recognize these scenes from throughout both SuperFogeys and SuperFogeys Origins. Newbies, don’t worry. Knowing all these references or not knowing them isn’t going to impact future reading. But, for those who want to know, I present to you: annotations! Panel 1: This is [...]
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 [...]
I challenge you to not love Marc’s Carl Sagan-esque redesign of Dr. Rocket. You can’t do it. Zurida’s pretty smokin’ as well. Enough of that! Did you see our latest blog? Marvel used some of Marc’s art for their 75th Anniversary television special without his permission. This is a thing that happened! Well, Marc’s friends [...]
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 [...]
Ever wonder what the Earth-Avalon Nurse Carter would be like? Well, it doesn’t matter if you did or not because here she is. Of course the real news is all this death and destruction. It’s terrible. We can’t lose Captain Spectacular II, ON THIS OR ANY OTHER WORLD! COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU… A [...]
Writing–and seeing–two different Soviet Sams is a lot of fun. They are basically completely different characters. Also a lot of fun is General Will vs. Captain Spectacular. One man with all the power who struggles to be the hero, the other with none of the power who takes his heroing seriously. Next week: Spy Gal [...]
Great scene setting in the first panel. Just looks epic. Nice work, Marc. SUPERFOGEYS ON FACEBOOK Did you know SuperFogeys has a page on Facebook? Be sure and like us there to get news of all the latest updates! See you on Friday with 669 – “Press Conference, Interrupted!”
I really hope everyone is checking out SuperFogeys on Comixology. I truly feel like that’s the ideal reading experience. Case in point: today’s strip. 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? [...]
Swifty is back! It’s actually been awhile since he was in the same time and dimension as the other Fogeys, believe it or not. He only briefly returned after the one year time jump, but then shuttled off to Earth-Avalon almost immediately. He was great fun over there, but I’ve missed having the guy around [...]
There’s more to come from Star Matron meeting Dark Maiden, but this is a fun primer. Marc did some fun stuff in this one. I love Starbrighter’s reaction in panel 2. Not hard to picture that one animated. MY CRAZY WEEKEND So, like a lot of you, I have family coming into town for Christmas. [...]
No, this wasn’t “our” Money Man, but he was the Money Man Sam spent the most time with. Still, he came in late. I remember when my dad died. I had been away from home for a while and when I returned for the funeral there were those present whom I didn’t know–those who had [...]
As we enter the last four or five strips of this chapter, Marc and I find that our buffer has run out and we’re really pushing the deadlines hard. I’m excited to see this chapter come to and end and how the ending points to what’s ahead, but I’m also sad to see it happen [...]
Who is the most powerful SuperFogey in just about any Universe? Why, it’s Star Maiden, of course. Or Dark Maiden. Or Star Matron. Whatever you call her, she’s Elora and she’s here to kick your butt. Only three strips left in this chapter! See you on Wednesday with 729 – “After the Battle!”
Hey, we’ve all been there, right? You’re a megalomaniacal, insecure villain in love with the greatest super spy of all time, you see her flirting with the transdimensional alternate version of the guy your true love has been making goo-goo eyes at, you walk in on that big, burly President of the Alternate-U.-S.-of-A. giving your [...]
HOW DARE SHE! Did Jerry deserve it? Is Spy Gal overreacting? Can this tear in their marriage be mended? Your thoughts below! See you on Wednesday with 751 – Who Do You Think Paid for All This?
I love it when Marc goes widescreen! So, so cool seeing all these characters in one place. We’ve come a long, long way since those early chapters. AND THE OFFICIAL ARTIST OF THE SUPERFOGEYS ORIGIN IS… T.L. COLLINS! That’s right, after much behind-the-scenes drama and two artists dropping out, I’ve finally secured an artist for [...]
New looks for President Reed and Star Matron! Couldn’t send them into battle in their civvies, now could we? The new uniforms came together pretty quickly–Marc is a real ace when it comes to character design–but I did have feelings about President Reed’s hat. In Marc’s original design, he was hatless. That didn’t feel quite [...]
We’re back! Thank you for your patience during our brief hiatus. It takes a lot of work and time and sweat and tears to make this comic, and these breaks help us keep fresh and keep on top of it. As always, your comments and patronage are appreciated. See you on Wednesday with 816 – [...]
Dang it. Dark Maiden is back. Personally, I like Star Maiden better. See you on Monday with 817 – Master Masticate Stands With Fork Ready!
There’s something so ancient about this joke, but, for my money, it works. Plus, I’ve been having a lot of fun hearing more from the other villains besides Avalon Thrice. Guy’s a talker. Other people have things to say, too! See you on Monday with 819 – Time for a Refill?
I don’t know why, but I really love this strip. Probably because Thrice Evil is so genuinely afraid of these two–and we have a clue as to why! RAISED BY A DEAD MAN My father was murdered in 1996 during an armed robbery. He was a guy who lived a rather full life, and being [...]
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!
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?
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 [...]
