BUBBLES OF LIGHT BEGINS NOW!
Welcome to Chapter 10 of the SuperFogeys, Bubbles of Light. If chapters 1-5 are Volume One (available for sale in print here), and chapters 6-9 are Volume 2 (available in print pending demand!), then today officially kicks off Volume 3!
I don't want to say too much about what this chapter is all about (because anything I would tell you would ruin some of the cool surprises coming up), but from the title alone you can reasonably conclude that time travel will be a factor.
Now, some of you may be saying "I hate time travel" or "Time travel makes my head hurt" or "Time travel owes me money and I need to buy a sandwich." So, maybe you're down on time travel? All I ask is that you give me a chance. I'm probably not going to be approaching it in the way you're thinking or (hopefully) used to seeing.
But. Besides all that. Each new volume is an opportunity to do something new--new tone, new characters, new plot lines--even better art, if I can manage it. Let's see what this volume brings. I know I'm excited--I'm actually ahead for the first time in years! The first three strips of Chapter 10 are already in the can.
NEXT WEEK:
Tuesday sees the release of the second page of Spy Gal's origin--a GORGEOUS page, if I may so (and I can since the art is by the fantastic Lee Cherolis).
Then, on Thursday, be back here as Bubbles of Light continues and Jerry does his best to offer up an explanation for his improved condition. Who thinks he's gonna tell the truth? Anyone? Anyone?

You already know what I'm going to say. Swifty is so freaking awesome. God yes. (I need a Swifty plushie or something, just to remind myself how sarcasm can bring me true joy.)Unlike Capt Spectacular, Jerry wasn't healed by the healer... we're going to get an explanation, right?
(PS. Are you going to merge Jerry and the Third Man's bios? Just wondering. Seems like we might want a little more back story if you do decide to merge those.)
Also, as another side note, are hard copies of SuperFogeys only available online? I'm sort of interested in getting the books. (I'm so blonde when it comes to comics. All I know is that I check them on a certain day, a new one will magically appear.) Thanks!

Jerry can't be anything but glad about that hug.Also gosh damn Jerry has tiny legs. Tiny, tiny sidekick feets.

ROFL, that was the best response EVER!I love how SpyGal just leaps from the sofa into Jerry's arms like that.
But Swifty is my fav so I gotta love his "Baby learned to walk, baby learned to walk!"

Him saying "baby" only makes me think of "Bad Jerry."p.s. Time travel rules.

I think Spy Gal should know better than to ask Swifty about something related to Jerry. Heck I'm surprised he didn't say something worse, lol. But yeah, he's awesome. Thanks for adding some spice to our lives Swifty and Brock.Here's an interesting question I thought of earlier. Why didn't Dr. Rocket use his greater intelligence and genetically enhance himself to be equal or even greater to CS?

"...and thus the 3rd Man is defeated and the world is saved once again thanks to Switfy!"OK, not really but Jerry you just got verbally smacked down.
This points to a 2nd Jerry though. Moving bed-ridden Jerry to Klein's office is a move only required if in fact he had to hide an extra Jerry. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to contact the nurse at all.

Oooh! Oooh! I know where there's an extra "Jerry" lying about...or where there *was* one, back in 1955!Brock, whatever happened to Mega Matt?

Thanks for the great responses, everyone. Sounds like you're all gonna have as much fun with this new chapter as I am.Georgia - Yes, we'll get an explanation about Jerry being able to walk, but not in this chapter.
As for the updated bios...I know it's something I need to do, but I've been debating how to handle it. There's more mystery surrounding the reveal than I'd intended and I'm not sure I want to take that away.
And yes, the hard copies are only available online. Would love to get them into stores, but that can only happen if SuperFogeys reaches the level of a PVP or a Penny Arcade. Can that happen? Up to you guys!
Si Civa - Eh. Just how I draw legs in the SF universe.
Sam - You know what's funny? I stressed about that punchline. Wasn't sure it was funny enough.
Scott King - Agreed. I LOVE time travel stories.
Javier - Who's to say that Dr. Rocket didn't try something like that? Goodness knows Lex Luthor has given that a shot or two, but it's never really worked out for him.
Scott - Or...he did it to keep up appearances. There's always more than one explanation.
Brock says...

Quarktime - I've never directly addressed what happened to Mega Matt since 1955, but that doesn't mean you haven't seen him. I will get back to Mega Matt's story one day, rest assured.TaintedRose says...

so we have seen mega matt, that makes the observation, about the rich drunk guy that i originally thought looked like the money man and someone (sorry) said he was more likely to be mega matt, more plausiblealso, yay time travel! lol
