NEW SITE PRE-LAUNCH!

(The following was posted on the new site today)

Welcome to the new superfogeys.com! We've been working long and hard behind-the-scenes at Th3rd World to give you a reading experience that doesn't make you want to petition the government for a new task force on webcomic site quality control. Well, here's the results.

There's lots to see and do at this new site, and I hope you'll take full advantage of it. Over the next week I'll be highlighting some of the cooler features here in the comments box.

First up, check out that archive system. You'll notice over the top of the strip are pull-down menus that let you easily access whichever strip you're looking for by number and name. To speed up the viewing experience, we've made the entire archive accessible dynamically–you'll notice that the page DOES NOT RELOAD as you flip though. Be sure and have your javascript turned on.

“But what if I want to share a particular strip with my friends?” I hear you ask. Never fear, just click on “Link to this Episode” below the strip to be taken the url with the strip you're viewing. Copy and paste and you're done.

Also, for those of you far more tech-savvy than I (seriously, all credit in the world for this amazing site goes to the guys at Th3rd World), there's an RSS feed there as well.

Please be aware that we are still technically in pre-launch mode and the greater part of the Th3rd World site is not quite fully operational. The url's will all be shifting over to something more permanent with the official launch, but www.superfogeys.com will ALWAYS take you here.

Cellmates

So…why is there a post on a Monday what is “Cellmates?” Well, last week SuperFogeys Collection #3 went off to the printers (you can order your copy today at the SuperFogeys Store) and it features an 11-PAGE bonus story drawn by the phenomenal Chip Skelton (Broken).

“Cellmates” is probably the most fun I've had writing SF and Chip really just brought it to life. This week, on the “off” days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) I'll be presenting the first 3 pages of this story for your viewing enjoyment. If you want the rest of the story…well, you know.

Talk Back

(This is also taken from the new site)

Below you'll find the comment area. This is the place for you to give feedback, ask questions, debate plot points, etc. It's open to everyone and even if you don't have anything to say, I'd love a “hello.” I know that there are lots of readers out there that I've never been able to have contact with and I'd love to know who you are if you have a second.

Enjoy the site everybody! More tomorrow.
