SUPERFOGEYS TRIVIA CONTEST #2!
Thaaaaaaat's right, it's time for the 2nd (Not-So-Annual) SuperFogeys Trivia Contest! Don't remember the first one? Don't worry! No one does!
The Rules:
1. Answer the 20 SuperFogeys Trivia Questions (and one bonus question) to the best of your ability. (All answers can be found by reading the strips ONLINE–don't worry, I'm not trying to trip you up by asking about stuff from the print-only bonus stories. However, the questions do have varying degree of difficulty. Some are super obvious. Some will require putting some pieces together, but I promise you the answers are all in the strips.)
2. Email your answers to me at heasley@th3rdworld.com with the subject line: SuperFogeys Trivia Contest 2
3. Answers due by 11:59pm Thursday, October 23rd.
The Winner:
1. Will be announced Tuesday, October 28th.
2. Will be the person who answers the most questions correctly. (In the event of a tie, winning names will be put into a hat and selected at random.)
The Prize:
A Brand spankin' new SuperFogeys T-Shirt of your choice, now (or very soon to be) available in the SuperFogeys Store.
The Questions:
Of course, your big cheat sheet for these is at www.superfogeys.com. Feel free to just send me your answers, but please do number them:
1. What are Captain Spectacular, Spy Gal and Star Maiden’s first names?
2. Whose picture does Dr. Rocket have on the wall in his room?

Special Announcement About Changing SuperFogeys Schedule on Drunk Duck
I hate to do this but the time has come. With SuperFogeys having a proper home now outside of DD and in the interest of trying to finally grow SF's audience (the phrase “critically acclaimed but not popular with the masses” seems to sadly apply), I have decided to…
…Not pull the SuperFogeys from Drunk Duck. No, instead I'm scaling back the updates on DD to just once a week. Every Tuesday, to be exact.
Now, this doesn't mean that SF isn't updating twice a week anymore. No, over at www.superfogeys.com it's going to be very much business as usual. I'll make no bones about it: I'm trying to entice as many of you over to the official site as I can. I want you over there reading, commenting, making trouble by guessing my plotlines and being your awesome selves. I hope to bring the two disparate SF readerships together.
Now, I'm no fool. I know some of you find DD incredibly convenient and aren't going to budge from it. That's fine. That's why I'm still sticking around in a limited capacity. I owe you all that much.
But those of you that are willing to make the jump with me…well, you're not only going to find a story that will quickly be weeks and weeks ahead of the one you could read here, but you're also going to find a site with a lot more than I could offer you on DD.
So…do as you all will. But I sincerely hope to see you all over at www.superfogeys.com
Next Week:
Tangerine's motivation and…that's it. If you want more than that, well, you know…

Heh - poor old Clovis!

Hey Brock -- in my case, life's been chaotic lately and I haven't made up my mind one way or the other as far as the DD schedule change goes. We'll have to get back t'ya on that, eh?
Brock at 8:06PM, Oct. 9, 2008
No response to the change in the DD schedule? Gotta same I'm surprised by that. Is there anyone planning on going over to the other site? NyJ - Ha! That's right! I'd forgotten about the "baby" part, but, well I guess a part of me didn't. Glad SOMEBODY was paying attention. argonassistant - I don't know, if a teddy bear was my backup plan, I'd be a little worried. Smik - You got it, man. That's exactly where the S.P.U. came from. Dang, I hope a bunch of you enter the trivia contest--you guys got it goin' on. amanda - Oooh...that's a good theory. I will neither confirm nor deny, but you will find out exactly who Swifty is talking about next year. Miss Annoying - I just like the name "Mr. Bear." It makes me laugh. Dawn - Not all of the questions are tough! Some are pretty easy. Doesn't hurt to try, right? One read through'll get you all the answers.

LOL, the return of Clovis! Yes! Man, those are tough questions, Brock! Great idea, hopefully I'll send you something soon. Glad to see the prize is a T-shirt!!!
Miss Annoying at 11:50AM, Oct. 9, 2008
Mr. Bear! XD

Tried to send this via PQ, but "this user can't receive Tiki Mail" shows up. You might alert an admin =] Concerning Bubbles of Light 2: so, I've been thinking and thinking and thinking about this strip and all the things that I should be gleaning from it - and it occurs to me: is Swifty talking about Mr. Crook? So far, Mr. Crook has been the only ex-super to have been at Valhalla but is no longer there.
smkinoshita at 5:55AM, Oct. 9, 2008
That is indeed Space Pig urine, Rufus. Dr. Rocket gave Swifty some since it was leftover from Jerry's operation. I hope Clovis will kick Tangerine's butt. He'd never live down being beaten by a teddy bear.
argonsassistant at 4:13AM, Oct. 9, 2008
ooo a back up plan for Dr Rocket,I knew it!
argonsassistant at 4:13AM, Oct. 9, 2008
ooo a back up plan for Dr Rocket,I knew it!
n_y_japlander at 2:59AM, Oct. 9, 2008
LOL!!!! And Dr. Rocket DID tell him that he'd sleep like a baby!!! Thumb and all!!! Very funny today!!!
Brock at 11:24PM, Oct. 8, 2008
rufus edge - Yep, that's exactly what it is. Take a gander at strip 149. That should prove enlightening. mattchee - the next strip even features actual action!
mattchee at 10:31PM, Oct. 8, 2008
mayhem... i love it
rufus_edge at 10:22PM, Oct. 8, 2008
What happened to Swifty? Is that Space Pig urine?
