Yeah, right? What did happen to Star Maiden? Last we saw her, she was getting the heck out of Dodge. Now, where could she have gotten off to? Be back here next week for the big 400th SuperFogeys episode! The 100th, 200th and 300th episodes were all big freakin’ deals around here. I don’t see [...]

Here he is, the man of the hour, President Superknocker. He’s all I hoped for and more. Any resemblance to any Presidents either living or dead is strictly coincidental. These “news strips” come from my love of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Besides being a great story, I love how Miller tells his story [...]

Everyone knows that all characters should be three dimensional. You’re more likely to believe in a fictional character when you can recognize the humanity–however manufactured–within them. One way of doing this, I’ve found, is to have characters treat some people one way and others a different way. There’s a side of Swifty that doesn’t really [...]

I don’t know when we’ve ever fit so many characters into a panel so small. I’m not even sure who all of those guys are! That’s exciting. Cami Fans: The real life Cami had her eighth birthday on Monday. On Saturday, we held our 4th Annual Birthday Ball Party in her honor–a half hour party [...]

It’s always a treat getting some sweet, sweet Swifty Fan Art. I love, love, love the addition of the tennis balls on the feet of the walker. Wish I’d thought of that. This comes to us from Daniel Elliott of The Superpower Union. Check his stuff out! Thanks, Daniel! Send me your SuperFogeys Fan Art [...]
I think I mentioned that I’ve been rereading SF lately as I prepare files for Comixology. In the course of that, I’ve noticed that one thing I have a tendency to do is cut rapidly between simultaneously occurring scenes, jumping from character to character sometimes after only one or two strips. That’s fun and it [...]

Some expert storytelling from Marc in this strip. It looks deceptively simple, but there’s really a lot going on across these four panels and fitting all the beats in and choosing just the right angle is no mean trick. I honestly didn’t know how Marc was going to interpret the script, but he did a [...]

The end of a chapter is my favorite part. It’s when everything comes together and the design of the thing is made clear. The chapter basically has three endings. You’ve seen one already, but this next one coming up should be obvious to longtime readers with good memories. But it’s the third ending I’m REALLY [...]

UPDATE 2! Since this time travel business has been woven so much into the background of the story of the SuperFogeys (and time travel can be kind of confusing), I want to help point you guys towards the right places as much as possible. Some of you are wondering WHY this is happening, and I [...]

You asked for him, you got–well, his return was already planned for this moment. The last time we saw Swifty was in “Bubbles of Light 0.” An important SF strip if there ever was one. The Bubbles of Light, in case you don’t already know, are always a sure sign of time travel. Swifty has [...]

Everything I said about how great Marc art was on the previous strip carries over here. This is the kind of stuff that makes what I was doing in the first few chapters a joke. You should get a better sense of Swifty’s perspective from today’s strip. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t really know [...]

This is T-Magus and Gina. Their big intro was in Chapter 10 “Bubbles of Light” where they did some time travel shenanigans and put into motion a lot of stuff that’s still reverberating through the strip even today. Then we saw them again here, just before the One Year Later jump. If you’re finding yourself [...]
