TODAY’S STRIP

There’s a lot to be said about today’s strip, but I’m gonna let you guys say it below. But, for the record: Sexiest. Shoulder. Pop. Ever.

DICTATOR TOT – LOCAL HERO?!?

As some of you may recall, the villain that menaced our heroes through chapters 3-5, Dictator Tot, was loosely based on my daughter, Elora. Well, it looks like she’s turning over a new leaf because last week Elora was deemed a Local Hero by the County Fire Department and an assembly at school was held in her honor. Her little sister, Cami, had a seizure not too long ago and it was Elora who called 911. Her composure and demeanor on the phone impressed Rescue Services and so they decided to call a lot of attention to her. It was all over the news here, and in the paper.

For those interested, here’s a link to coverage of the assembly, and here’s another link to an interview she and I did a little later in the day.

Side note: Cami is doing great and recovered well from the seizure.

STEVE OGDEN – NAKED!!

That’s right! I have the naked inks for page 2 of the currently running origin of the Thrice Evil! Check ’em out:

ARTISTS! ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT TO GET YOUR SF STRIP IN FOR GUEST STRIPPIN’ XMAS!

All submissions must be received by 11:59 pm (PST) this Tuesday. Here’s the post from a month ago just in case you need a refresher:

As per usual, I’ll be taking a week or two off around Christmas to spend time with my family and recharge my batteries a bit. This has been a heckuva year for SF, with major revelations and a serious upping of the game. Time for a break!

This is where you come in. I’m looking for anyone who would like to contribute to send a guest strip my way to run at the end of December. I reserve the right to refuse to run something because of content (keep in mind that SF is profanity and nudity free) or a slipshod effort (which has never happened before, but still–talent level is not the issue here, effort is–if your art stinks, your writing could still carry it, and vice versa), but otherwise everything is pretty much fair game.

Last year I got some great entries, including one from Cory Thomas and one from Chris Watkins that led to each of them doing a SuperFogeys Origin story (Chris is working on his right now!) They, along with anyone else who has submitted previously, are welcome to submit again!

I’m really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with this year. I think now that all the cards are on the table, it will be interesting to see which characters you’ll tackle. Will anyone dare do a Jerry strip??

Here’s the specs:

• Submissions can be in either strip or page format. Valhalla years or SuperFogeys Origins–it’s up to you! (Just bear in mind that your stories won’t be canon.) Last year, one stellar submission was 2 full pages, so have at it.

• Funny is good.

• Strips will run at 800 pixels across.  Please send that size or larger.  I can always scale down, but never up.

• Spy Gal naked is bad.

• Please include “SuperFogeys (copyright symbol) 2010 Brock Heasley” underneath the strip.

• email to: bwhheasley (at) gmail.com

• Include your name, name of your comic (if you have one) and website url (if you have one) and whatever biographical information you’d like to see posted with your strip. Promoting you is my thank you, so please make sure I have my facts straight!

• Deadline is Dec. 21st

Consult the handy Character Guide if you need help getting started! Have at it, folks!

NEXT WEEK:

On Tuesday, Bruce Jr. meets Dr. Rocket and…that doesn’t go so well for him.

Then, on Thursday, be back here as we catch up with the Swiftys and the Star Maidens!
