BETA-TESTING FOR THE NEW SUPERFOGEYS.COM HAS BEGUN! WE WANT YOU!

This is it! We begin our two weeks of beta-testing today before the official launch and we're looking for a few good men and women to help us out. Basically, we want you to dig into the site and try to break it, use multiple browsers, try commenting, poke around, etc. I think we have something special and I want it to be perfect for the launch, so please help!

To get in on the beta-testing (no, going to superfogeys.com right now will get you nowhere) here's what you'll have to do: go to the Th3rd World Forums and register. Once you've done that, we'll manually give you access to the beta-testing info and rules. It's that simple.

Hey, beta-testing isn't for everyone, but we'd sure appreciate your help. Plus, you'll get a look at what I think is a bit of a revolutionary webcomic interface.

SUPERFOGEYS NOMINATED FOR THREE DRUNK DUCK AWARDS!

BEST ANTAGONIST - Dr. Rocket
BEST PARODY OR TRIBUTE COMIC
BEST SUPERHERO COMIC

And I didn't even have to nominate myself! Crazy! Whoever tossed SF into the ring, thanks so much! This isn't one of the bigger comics on DD, so I was surprised to see SF on there.

(Uh oh, judging by the Dr. Rocket nod I had better change the title of this chapter…)

FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT ON TUESDAY - BROCK HEASLEY TALL TALE RADIO INTERVIEW NOW AVAILABLE!

Hey all, quick update here to let you know that my interview with Tom Racine for Tall Tale Radio just went live! Tom says:

It's Brock "Super Fogeys" Heasley's turn to be grilled for your amusement! Tom and Brock talk about the origins of "Super Fogeys," the challenges of writing vs. drawing, the importance of storytelling and character, the joy of DVD commentaries, the fine line between comedy and tragedy, his good old fashioned technique, the upcoming Th3rdWorld redesign brilliance, and the importance of keeping Tom in Tall Tale Features T-shirts. And don't forget Comic Strip Trivia! Will Brock know Mickey Mouse's original name? Does he know the original artist of Spider-man? Does he know the philosophical character in "Beetle Bailey?" Tune in to find out!

You can listen to the whole thing at this link or, if you have iTunes, just do a search in the iTunes Store for "Tall Tale Features."

NEXT WEEK:

Dictator Tot shows her wee little face again and Tangerine faces shame and disappointment.
