Okay, so the site didn’t quite get as fixed last week as we thought. Some people are still having much difficulty loading it. A more full explanation can be found of what to do in this new blog, but basically it comes down to you need to reset your bookmark to superfogeys.com. You shouldn’t see any more trouble after that. Sorry for the confusion!
A word of explanation: you might have noticed that I didn’t respond to any comments on Wednesday’s strip. I don’t know if my responding to comments is welcome or annoying, but it’s fun for me to talk with you guys. However, I felt like the mystery figure in Wednesday’s strip was generating a conversation that I was best a part of. This is a mystery that will be solved in the near future, but I don’t want to ruin any of the fun in the meantime.
Today’s strip is the big moment–Spy Gal’s immediate reaction to the triple identities of her husband, Jerry. How do you think she’s taking it?
One betrayal too many for the girl with bad luck on love. No wonder her and the Captain deserved each other. š
I’ve never thought about that before. You’re right… they both have a pretty tough go when it comes to love.
Hoo boy Jerry my man I would not want to be you in a couple of updates.
Hey now! No reading ahead.
She’s suddenly all calm and nice – that’s never a good sign.
It’s true. Yelling is great for shock. But it’s the quiet, seething person who will really frighten you.
When they said divorce was murder they didn’t know the half of it!
Though this ought to be good to watch. Still we are reaching closer to the big reveal/secret/body bag/shooting zippy and his time jump bit… Are we forgetting any other foreshadowing told in earlier comics?
If I’m following you right… you missed Swifty’s time jump in the last chapter? Because he is gone.
The time jump at the graveyard.
Oh, duh. Of course. Yeah, that’s coming… at some point.
Just wondering… what fuels space pig jetpack? It is always on and I have never hear anything from it. On a side note, I actually love that you get the time to read and answer back all the comments. Not all authors take that time and I appreciate that you do š
What fuels a Space Pig jet pack? Bacon grease. Disturbing, right?
Thanks for the feedback!

I think SpyGal is going to make sure of the facts first, and she might not act until a better opportunity.
But as to your response to comments — actually believe it or not, but you inadvertently taught me some of the basics of social media marketing & community management before those were even buzz words. I think author response greatly improves the chances of success of any publication.
No foolin’? That’s cool. It’s not really a calculated thing for me. At first, I responded because I thought that’s what you’re supposed to do, but then I just enjoyed talking to people and I wanted them to know how grateful I was for them checking out the work. If it has a positive marketing effect, then that’s just a bonus.
When you do social media marketing right, that’s exactly how it feels.
The person I feel really bad for is Dr Rocket. After being betrayed and imprisoned by Jerry, imagine how much he’d have enjoyed watching him loose the thing he loves the most. Also, I approve of Spy Gal’s response. No point in getting made until you confirm things for yourself. It’s far more productive to spend that time plotting your vengeance so you’re ready to unleash it once your certain it’s justified. On an unrelated note, it’s easier than you would think to fill a pinata with bees . . .
Good point, Andrew. You know Dr. Rocket loves a good comeuppance. As for Spy Gal… you’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of reactions going on inside her.
I don’t think Spy Gal needs confirmation. Her measured request to Sam (saying “dear” twice, a word I doubt she’d ever say if there wasn’t something broiling inside) says everything. She already knows that Dr. Klein and The Third Man are one of the same, and she knows Tangerine well enough to know his nose would lie to him, and that Dr. Klein and Jerry are one and the same. All those consequences are running through her head through her head–how Dr. Klein trapped her at Valhalla, how the Third Man “killed” Tom, how she’s married to the man who was capable of doing those things.
She doesn’t need confirmation. She wants confrontation. And she’s going to do it alone, ’cause that’s the way she’s wired. Her problem, her solution. Because there’s a ton at stake, and more than just the world.
Here’s hoping that Sam doesn’t decide it’s good time to play hero. Just bring Jerry, buddy, and stay out of the way.
Errr…to know is nose would NOT lie to him. Gah.
Good thoughts, billydaking. There’s gotta be a lot swirling around in Spy Gal’s head and how it all comes tumbling out is something she’s obviously thinking hard about. You’ll see her tack soon enough…
No amount of counseling is gonna save this marriage …
I dunno… a reallllllly good counselor? Maybe?
This just might give the word “War Room” a whole new meaning… Poor Jerry xD
Uh oh… she’s gone quiet and polite. It’s gonna hit the fan now.
