THE NEWS IS BIG THIS WEEK. IT MUST BE REPEATED.
In case you missed it on Tuesday...
I have a comic in the monthly competition over at Zuda (the webcomics arm of DC Comics). At stake: a one-year contract with DC to keep making my comic. That's comic's name? MONSTERPLEX.
If you like SuperFogeys, I've got a feeling you'll really dig MONSTERPLEX.
The winner of the competion is based solely on popularity. This is where I desperately need your help. Here's a list of everything the Zuda overlords are looking to determine which comic they're going to sign:
1. Votes
2. Adding to Favorites
3. Star Ratings
4. Number of Comments
5. Traffic
To participate (vote, favorite, leave comments, etc.) you'll need to register an account over at Zuda (only takes a minute or two, tops). It's always been a dream of mine to work for one of the big two (DC or Marvel) and I'm hoping you'll join Team Monsterplex and help make that happen. I've never asked for donations to keep the SuperFogeys going, but I am asking for this!
Joining me on MONSTERPLEX are my office mate David Schlotterback on art and Th3rd World Publisher Michael DeVito on colors. Even if you think my writing is terrible (and if you do, why are you here?), please check out the great work these two guys are doing!
There's also a Monsterplex Blog where we're revealing behind-the-scenes info and updating constantly with news.
Also: Facebook Fan page.
Thanks to everyone who has voted so far and is supporting us! Don't forget to pop back in now and again to comment. You can't vote twice, but you can comment and visit as much as you want!
(Anyone looking for more detailed instructions about how to login to Zuda and vote should refer to this post. Thanks!)
TALL TALE FEATURES REBOOT
In other news...Tall Tale Features, the fantastic cartoonist collective I'm privileged to be a part of, has relaunched this week! Irma E. of Imy has done an amazing job redesigning the website from the ground up. You'll also find a bunch of new features, including Reviews and How-To posts. TTF has now shifted focus a bit to throw more of a spotlight on the Tall Tale Radio podcast, as we should.
You have got to check this thing out!
NEXT WEEK:
Meet the Captain's Fifth Wife on Tuesday on page 5 of The Six Wives of Captain Spectacular! I've got a feeling this is the one you've been waiting for.
Then, on Thursday, the penultimate episode of Chapter 7, "Visiting Day" hits and a hidden agenda will stand revealed.

I was looking at funny pics on a website and well...this popped up and I emediatly thought of Dr. Rocket. Now we know where he goes shopping. Sears: The specialty store for EVERYTHING.http://fukung.net/v/19746/searsgrill.jpg

Dierna - Definitely fast food. You have to get it out of there before the authorities arrives. And that link to the grill is HILARIOUS. Everyone should go check it out.Greg B. - I can appreciate that. It is played for laughs, and some might find that distasteful, but it's also a handy way to remind the audience that Dr. Rocket is a villain. On that level, I don't mind doing it so much. Thanks for saying so though, Greg.
CartoonistWill - Your definition and my definition of a "touching moment" are vastly different! ( I kid...taken on its own terms...)

Brock - Yep, I was definitely joking. :-) Just meant that this is what a touching villain moment must be like, ha ha, and obviously what you had in mind as a villainous father-daughter moment.
