Welcome to Chapter 13, “The Sidekick and His Gal!” This one is a gonna be nice and short and much more intimate and smaller in scale than the last chapter. Who needs a break? I sure do. I know Marc does. Be sure and check back on the new blog post below for a link [...]

Tangerine quoting Gandhi? You better believe it. I really love how different this chapter feels already, compared to the last one. Marc handles the quiet stuff just as well as the big action.

Is it his sweet outfit? His constantly broken nose? I dunno. But I don’t think a week goes by that someone [...]

WELCOME BACK! (First time here? Can’t remember what’s going on? Skip down to the recap.) I know… I know… you thought this would never happen. You thought we’d forgotten all about SuperFogeys. You thought we were too busy to continue telling this story to completion. Well… not gonna lie, there were a few times over [...]

This new chapter started out with a mighty punch for the simple reason that I wanted to signal to the reader that this is the kind of chapter you’re in for: a punching chapter full of action and destruction (and a little intrigue). So, of course, given all that, you’ve got to have the moment [...]

I don’t know that I’ve ever rewritten a single panel quite so much as I rewrote the last panel of this strip. I don’t know if it was worth all that effort, that’s for you to judge, but hey, that’s the kind of care and attention we put in around here at SuperFogeys Central.* Hat [...]

It’s the little things. Like Dr. Rocket and Percy breaking the boundary of the last panel. I love it. You almost don’t notice it, but it perfectly enhances the dynamics of the action in that panel. Little things like that make me happy. THE SWIFTY ORIGIN IS A GO! Good news! The long-awaited origin of [...]

Man, I don’t even know what to say. Ten years ago this week I decided to do a little experiment: I’d draw one comic strip a day for five days, just to see if I could do it. The hook of this little comic strip–old superheroes in a nursing home–was given to me by Tad [...]

Marc has really killed it with this strip (pun acknowledged). He reconfigured the action as scripted to be much better than what I wrote, and that allowed me to delete half the dialogue! Collaboration at its finest. THE FALLEN SON And so we say goodbye to Captain Emo. Longtime fans will recall he was a [...]
