Just wanted to remind everybody that we're in pre-launch mode with the new website. That means that the site is open to everyone, but that once we go live officially the url will change so please update your bookmarks accordingly when the time comes. Don't worry, I'll be making a big stink about it.
Frumph.net
Don't forget to register and check out the great new comics list site, Frumph.net. No, I have nothing to do with the site other than having my comic registered there. I promote it because it's an excellent site and Frumph is way on top of things, improving the site on a daily basis.
Plus, right now Frumph is also accepting nominations for the WCRA's (Webcomic Reader's Choice Awards) at this sister site. Currently, the SuperFogeys have two nods (in art and writing categories), but I'm not ashamed to admit that I hope that Dr. Rocket can get a second chance in the “Best Antagonist” category before this thing is through.
If DR wasn't being such a great guy lately, I'm sure he would have found some way to torch the Drunk Duck offices after his devastating loss in this year's DD awards. We don't dare tempt him twice! Right? Right?
Next Week:
If the site launch does happen next week like I hope it does, you can look forward to 5 updates as I preview “Cellmates,” the 11-page story Chip Skelton drew up for me for the book! Either way, you're still getting this:
Dr. Klein's got some splainin' to do and Tangerine explains how he got his name (hint: it does not involve reading X-Men and thinking up rhymes. No, that's how I thought of his name.)
Awesome! I wish I had parodied Wolverine with Tangerine... Anyway, your character isn't really a blatant Wolverine spoof. He's more of a big city construction worker. Think the little runt of a tenant from HEY ARNOLD! who did construction work. Yeah, that guy. I love BOTH characters.
royduncan100 - Thanks for that, man. A high compliment indeed.
Stone Hydra - Good theories on Tangerine's accent. Honestly, I don't really know where he's from. I know he's a latin/irish mix as far as race goes, but when I'm writing his dialogue I just "hear" his voice so clearly--that other stuff doesn't matter so much.
all i can say is the valhalla staff have to be payed a lot or be big fans to work thare. cs can be mean when he is anoyed, and you wuld have to pay anyone who has to leasin to swifty all day a prity pinny. tangerine seams a little hard to place im getting he is from new york eheter the irish or juish comuitys hard to tell i culd be way off.
amanda - You laughed out loud? And here I was afraid this one wasn't very funny. If you like CS and Big T together, you'll love the upcoming flashback detailing why they're such good buddies.
Poki rat - I think it's safe to say that Tangerine is pleasantly surprised.
ghostrunner - You said it!
NYJ - Huh? What? You lost me on your train of thought there. What can Swifty do though? He's old and feeble!
ToonmanAZ - Did we just find out your secret shame?
Chip - Thank you, sir!
EEN - A good point, but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say that it's combination of CS having some speed of his own and Swifty's body basically betraying him. He needs some real adrenaline pumping to get real physical with someone, and he didn't exactly have a chance to do that.
Smik - Bingo.
Jabali - See? We all like Swifty, but we want to see him punished. It just feels right.
kavonn - But does Swifty know that he's been time-travelling? That's the question. Dr. Rocket is coming back soon in a big way. Before this chapter is over the spotlight will go back on him, that I promise.
Dawn - Dang, Dawn. You're hardcore!
Miss Annoying - Not diggin' the elderly-on-elderly violence, huh?
BlanchPrez - Hmmm...an interesting theory to say the least.
You know, it occurs to me that CS might have been PROTECTING Swifty with that punch... after all, he know's how to pull his... "Big T," on the other hand, I'm not so sure.
CS is getting a little trigger-happy, though. And we know Swifty's probably been doing some preventative time-traveling.
Aw, come on, let the Rocket wreak some mayhem. Might be fun to watch, anyway.
Hmm it looks as though swifty didn't even get the chance to dodge. I wonder if he is just that out of it or if CS has super speed too.
Even rippled you would think and normal speeds he would be able to get him arms up or something ahead of CS.
(OO) I don't think CS thought... what reverberations will come from that???
I mean, he's planning his marriage, and it is not to the women he stuck up for...
Or, I'm just thinking way too hard!
(^U^) Nice one today! I always love SM's lines!!!

I agree, he had it coming.

Awww, poor Swifty. I imagine that's payback for the various cold comments about Jerry being shot.

Well, at least he won't be bored.

Alright, this made me laugh aloud ^.^ Hilarious! I think I'm going to like the comraderie between CaptSpac and Tang quite a bit.
