BACK FROM BALTIMORE!
Oh man, was my weekend great. I'm completely wiped out, but I WILL be filing a full Con report on Thursday with whatever pics I can scare up. Had a ton of fun meeting and hanging out with the Th3rd World crew and meeting some old and new fans. Lots to say! Thursday!
TGT SPOTLIGHTS SUPERFOGEYS ORIGINS!
TGT Webcomics recently ran a fantastic, extensive spotlight on SuperFogeys Origins. You can read the whole thing here, where much props are given to the artists of SFO. Thanks, Kurt!
NEWEST TALL TALE RADIO INFECTED BY YOURS TRULY
The newest Tall Tale Radio (the very best podcast for webcomic and comic news and interviews, hosted by Tom Racine) is now live--Episode 53, "The Lines in Comedy." Back in July, Tom, Brian (Dog Eat Doug) Anderson and I talked about the moral responsibilities of the artist and whether there are any lines we should not cross in the pursuit of the funny. It was a fast, informative and thoughtful take on the subject, made only slightly unbearable by my rambling. Give it a listen and weigh in!
DAVID REDDICK STEPS DOWN...
Those of us who know him, know how intensely busy David Reddick is. I was surprised when he volunteered to illustrate a SuperFogeys Origins story for that reason, but he was determined and completely, over-the-moon excited to do it. It is with great sadness that he now has to step aside. The pressures of his schedule and doing his own comic, The Legend of Bill, must be balanced and I would never ask him to sacrifice those in order to help me and TL out. Good luck, David! When things settle down, I'll be here, waiting.
...KRISHNA SADASIVAM STANDS UP!
The good news is that Krishna Sadasivam, of PC Weenies and the autobiographical Uncubed, has stepped up to take on the same script I'd written for David, "Spy Gal vs. Star Maiden!" You guys need to check out Krishna's comics, I'm not even kidding.
Krishna has been doing this comics game for awhile, and he blows amateurs like me out of the water. I'm completely honored to have him on board. Look for the first of his pages to debut on November 3rd. Tell your friends! More details (preview character sketches, Krishna?) to come.
See You on Thursday with SuperFogeys 229!

wonder who he is talking to? or who else is in the group.it would be a weird twist if he was just sitting alone in a room talking to himself.

Mike J. - Thanks. I'm getting the sense it's not to everyone's liking, but I like trying new things.Tyler D. - So, really, gravity is trying to keep us financially secure.
Svzurich - Thanks! Krishna's gonna be amazing.
Crashl33t - You remember? That's amazing. It's been so freakin' long.
Artisan54 - The last panel of this story is meant to be a subtle answer to your question. You may have to think about it for a minute to figure it out though.
Dierna - Rubber butt pads.

Certainly a somewhat different view of CS we are getting here. Of course we really know little of CS after his origin except that things got really dark for a while before he came to Valhalla. These stories all give us a little looks into his (and the other character's) in the way the affected others which is particularly enjoyable in this story.theasley says...

There's a theory I learned in a physical science class once. It is that the moon stays in rotation around the earth because the moon is falling around the curvature of the earth. See, when we throw objects they fall in a curve downward. Long story short: some theorist way back when came up with the idea that something would fall and never hit the ground if it was thrown hard enough, 'cause then it would constantly follow the curvature of the earth, ever waiting to fall on it. Such is the moon.So basically, maybe it would be cool if Tom "threw" himself across the earth and remained in orbit forever. Eh? Eh?

I love how the heart above CS is hollow, while everyone else's, including Tom's, in full.Brock says...

EEN - Yeah, the back stories of the characters are filling in in bits and pieces, which is something I'm having a lot of fun with. You'll get a pretty good idea of CS through the decades when the story "The Six Wives of Captain Spectacular" hits, including a lot more about Tom and his mother.THeasley - For sure! And I could TOTALLY make sense of that in 4 panels!
Bullfinch - Me too. No idea what it's gonna look like, but I'll be sure and pass along the art to you as I get it.
Blanchprez - Wow, I didn't even catch that. Total invention of TL, but that's a really nice and meaningful touch.
