I always love it when Marc finds the opportunity to go wide. Originally, there were four panels for this strip, but he saw how easily the first three could be combined into one, and of course it works so much better. Get your copy of SuperFogeys Vol. 1 right now at a discounted price before [...]

If you listened to my recent interview over at the Comics For All! podcast (SUCH a great interview) then you know all about my undying love for Atomic Fly. He and Soviet Sam are the two characters I wish had been there from Chapter 1 that just aren’t. SUPERFOGEYS VOL. 1 SELLS OUT AND ENTERS [...]

Annnnnnd we’re back again! But this time, it’s for the long haul. We’ve got a decent buffer going and I suspect we should be able to get to the end of a year without any breaks. Fingers crossed! When you look at the work Marc is doing and how he just keeps upping his game, [...]
