With this strip I start including copyright information at the bottom of each one.

Lots of special effects in this strip; I think every single character had some sort of post-production work. Sandstorm is doing something called matter surfing, which is what Iceman did in the old Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon. He also does it in the comics, I suspect, but I don’t read them. Although it looks very dramatic for characters to be blasting through the air and racing through the streets, it’s pretty impractical for travelling long distances.

This is another special effects strip. I’ve grown to loathe working on them, but it just has to happen with a superhero strip. If I didn’t want to design special effects, I would have done something else entirely, like take up philately or learn to play the bassoon.

This is a format I have borrowed from the TV show Family Guy. What happens is there is a brief flashback/jump cut to a scene directly relevant to current events.

I’ve never been to Poughkeepsie. I had never even thought about it before writing the script to this strip. Thirty seconds of internet research helped me to learn all about it. Now I want to go, just to stay in a B&B.
