I knew the back half of this chapter would be light on the Swifty, so I wanted to make sure his last time in the spotlight was a memorable one. Everyone seems to have a different favorite Swifty ailment, but the one I like the best (and the first one I wrote) is the one [...]

I had been looking for an excuse to do a single-panel strip for a long time and this conclusion of the Healer’s interviews with all the SuperFogeys was a good excuse for it. Originally, the dialogue on this one was vastly different. It was a back and forth between the Healer and the Captain; none [...]

CHARACTER ACTING Good comics feature good character acting. I believe this. It’s one of the reasons why Calvin & Hobbes is so beloved and the lack of it is partly to blame for why Dilbert is often so derided.

Our 5th Anniversary Celebration concludes today with this stellar “recap” of Chapter 12, “Jackpot!” from Steve VanDyken. Steve had the unenviable task of recapping a chapter that isn’t even finished yet, but his take on how it could end is wonderfully dark and cynical–and all the funnier for it. You’ll see how close he gets [...]

Here’s a secret: these types of strips are some of my favorites. Moving this particular story along doesn’t always allow for these moments of reflection and contemplation, but when they can happen I love to see them. The gold standard, for me, is still this one, but there’s a lot to love in today’s as [...]

Fan Art: Thrice Evil in… “Mommy Knows Best” by Margaret Racine!
by Brock Heasley on June 11th, 2014I about lost it when this came in via email. This is hilarious, and hilariously out-of-continuity. Margaret Racine has contributed things here and there before, all of them excellent. See Thrice’s origin for the first appearance of “Mommy” and SF 600 for the latest. Great job, Margaret!

by Brock Heasley on July 3rd, 2014We don’t get too many Thrice Evil fan arts around here, but we are seeing it more now. This one comes to us from Eric Merritt, Jr. who did a great job capturing my favorite version of Thrice–the young and powerful one. Look at those pecs!

Yikes! Sorry, folks. Didn’t mean to take so long to get some notes up. The big revelation with this strip hearkens allllll the way back to this strip, when we saw for the first (and only) time what the Thrice Evil of Earth-Abaddon would be like were certain controls not in place. And now you [...]

I fully admit that maybe my favorite thing about this strip is just that I got to use that title. But also, there’s the song. Sung by starving orphans (because of course!). If you haven’t already figured it out, I’ll clue you in: think My Country, Tis of Thee or, if you’re British, God Save [...]
