Hands down one of the most gorgeous strips Marc has ever produced.
UPDATE: THE MISSING YEAR REVEAL
Sadly, we lost a patron on Patreon this past week. This means we’re a bit further from our goal of $75/strip to unlock the top secret document that reveals the details of the year we skipped over between Chapters 17 and 18. This is an incredibly revealing document–I’d love to give it you! But rules are rules.
If you’ve been iffy about joining this Patreon thing, I’d encourage to head on over to the SuperFogeys Patreon main page and give it another look. There’s a video there I created that explains everything, but the short version is that Patreon allows you support SuperFogeys for as much or as little as you want.
SF is free and will remain so. This is simply a way to throw a little love our way and support the strip. We believe people will support the things they love, and we thank you if you do.
GALLOWS OPENING NIGHT THIS THURSDAY!
The movie I worked on, The Gallows, comes out this Thursday night! You can already find tickets on Fandango or purchase them at your local box office. Be sure and look for my name in the credits if you go–it’s my first ever movie credit and I’m kind of proud of it. I hope there are many more to come and, hopefully, different ones (I’m credited as an Assistant Set Decorator, which is cool but not exactly my primary area of expertise!).
You can see the trailer for The Gallows right here.
See you on Wednesday!
I went through the Related Comics and it reminds me of how much I still love the older somewhat silly gag a day Super Fogeys, but I love the new story as well and the art is so beautiful. That first panel is gorgeous.
So, has the Crimson Spelunker finally caught up with Jerry?
I hear you on the strips of yesteryear. I literally think it is impossible to maintain the gags if you introduce a continuing story of any length. We still try to keep it funny around here, but obviously I’ve chosen to curb it somewhat.
That said, I still think this is one of the funnier chapters we’ve had in a long while. Still lots more to come.
As for the Crimson Spelunker… you’ll find out soon!
It’s funny how all plot relevant moments in foreign lands occur on or around famous landmarks, as opposed to some random Chinese rice paddy. š
So, Jerry’s destroyed the evil glowing WMD, but he can’t even have his moment before being rudely interrupted? This guy just can’t catch a break, can he?
True story–I scripted a random location for Jerry and Marc thought it would be so much cooler to put him on the Great Wall. He was definitely right about that.
Jerry hasn’t quite destroyed the power crystal–that isn’t quite what he’s been doing. He’s been testing elements against it to find the right combination of materials to combine later to destroy it. Unless I’m wrong, an upcoming strip will make this perfectly clear.
