Nostalgia

I'm posting this one early because tomorrow morning I'm taking the Saturn in for car repairs.  Joy.  Not only is there a recall on the ignition switch (apparently it likes to turn off while you're driving), but I'm having mysterious engine overheating issues that can only mean one thing: all my money.

Regardless (or irregardless?), I'm happy with how this strip turned out.  The Commander is a blast to write for.  Now I'm thinking someday, down the road, Vampire Lenin and RoboMussolini might have to make a comeback.

So, hey, if you feel inclined to help me keep my POS car running for a couple more years, I'll direct your attention to my book for sale, and also my merchandise.  As always, if there's some merch you'd like to see, let me know, and I can probably whip it up for you.

Also, I'd love some feedback on this strip, so feel free to comment.

The Walters Files: The Commander

The Commander came from Jason and I joking around one day, talking about how funny it would be the if the first thing Captain America did after getting "thawed" would be to punch Black Widow in the face.  You know, for being a commie spy.  That lead to a series of jokes about how Cap would react to other prominent heroes with his Depression-era sensibilities.  So when I was putting together the roster of instructors, I told Jason that I wanted a Cap spoof like that but I didn't have a name, and he supplied "The Commander" from another thing he'd written back in the day.

To date the strips with the Commander in them have been the most popular.  Apparently you guys really like racism.  So expect to see a lot more of him!

Speciesism

I have to give extra thanks to Jason for this week's strip.  Not only did he name The Commander, but he took a throw-away comment I made about a guy named King Carp and meticulously described him in one of his Saturday Super Stories, particularly this one.  All I had said about him was that he was the Super U-niverse's "worst-dressed hero."  King Carp is one of the only heroes of old in the Super U-niverse that isn't a faculty member in the present, and that's a good thing, because there's no way in hell I'm drawing that outfit again.

I really want to make Super U. my livelihood, but to do that I need your help.  Joining, sharing, "liking" and especially donating can help me make that a possibility.  Thanks in advance for any way you can help me make my dream come true.  

Staff Infection

Doing a little better this week.  Got out this weekend to Bok Tower, which is about an hour from my apartment.  And my wife ran across this incredible thing that we are planning to make a whole weekend out of during their "Hatsume Fair," which I gather is some sort of spring festival.  We had no idea such a place existed in Florida, let alone only a few hours from here.  Knowing there are things like this outside of Tourist Hell, Florida is helping me to come to terms with the reality that I may be living here for the next third of a century or so.   It's nice to have something to look forward to.

A short strip this week.  I had some ideas where I would introduce Dean Clobber, Disciplinary Head, in the third panel, and I wanted to give him a ridiculous "It's Clobberin' Time!"-esque catchphrase, but I drew a blank.  But, nevertheless, I like how it came out.

I think once I hit the end of Chapter One on the "official site" I'm going to ditch Interrupted Reality.  It looked promising at first, but it has yet to bear fruit.  I still plan on, after the end of Chapter Two here in another 23 strips or so, taking another hiatus to YouTube-ify the Chapter, with the goal of 2 movies a week, I think.  Maybe I'll spread them out to trick myself into thinking the sites are getting more attention than they truly are.

Anyhoo, please help to spread the Super U. love.  "Like" and / or "+1" this page with those little buttons over there, and "Like" and "Share" the links on your preferred social media sites.  Doing so will result in your gaining my utmost admiration.

A History of all Nations but Mostly America

Thanks for coming to check out the strip.


As always, please help me to get this thing off the ground by joining the site, "liking" the Facebook links and sharing the links with all of your unsuspecting friends, so that this superhero satire of mine can become something bigger (+1 and share on Google+, too).  If Super U. starts to take off, I'll get a real website, and I'd aim to do a bi-weekly or even tri-weekly sort of thing.  The more support I have, the more effort I'll feel pressured into putting into each of the strips.


The dream is to be able to do this all the time.  Maybe even for money.
