Tall Tale Features Member alert! The most talented Brock “SuperFogeys” Heasley joins me again for an update on his goings-on. SuperFogeys has passed the big 200 mark, and the Saga of Dr. Rocket has been taking us down all sorts of roads. Brock clues us in on the whole process of that storyline, and talks about the alternate version you almost saw! Then he gives us an update on the very personal memoir he’s writing about his dad called “Bullets and M&Ms,” and in a Tall Tale Radio exclusive, reads a passage from the book. It’s a work in progress that is very powerful and should be a great read. We delve into such topics this week as script writing, fan reactions, gun control, and the upcoming movie, “Wolverine.” As always, talking to Brock is a blast, so come join us!

Great interview, Brock!
That was excerpt from your book was brilliant. You’re a talented writer, my friend.
A shape shifter? cool
Great interview. Nice choice of topics, and a lot of interesting insight into the writing process.
Good points about answering ALL the comments on your webcomic site. I always figured I’d just answer some of the more relevant comments and let the other comments stand for themselves. But you may have something here (as evidenced by the great reader involvement you get on your site).
Norm – Wow, you actually heard that through my mumbling? Thanks, my friend.
Bathbomber – Isn’t shape-shifting the power we really all want?
Tpiro – I did it that way for a while–answering just the ones the actually required a response. I just kind of fell in to responding to everyone eventually. It seemed the polite thing to do, and, as you say, it’s borne fruit. I enjoy the interaction, but I know that not every webcomicker does.
This is a really cool interview! I admit that I haven’t listened to TTR before (Brock drew me over with his awesomeness). Tom, you have a phenomenal radio voice, and you guys seemed to have a good time chatting.
Loved hearing some background information on the comic, loved the excerpt… great work! Now to plow through some TTR archives ^.^
You guys both did an excellent job on this interview. Tom, great analysis and some really good though provoking questions that I’m sure a lot of people wish we could hear more of from interviewers. Most of the information I was already familiar with, for obvious reasons, but I think there was a wealth of stuff here for most people. It was particularly interesting hearing Brock read a excerpt from him book. I can’t wait to hear the print vs web argument. I would love to call in for that hot topic.
Another great interview! Brock, I look farward to the book, as well as your secret comic project, and, oh yeah, that “SuperFogeys” thing seems pretty cool too…
Tom you’re doing a great job getting these out every week, and the guests are always facinating!
Great interview, Tom!
Brock! I went back and read your archive and am now an instant fan!
Great Strip!!!!
Brock brings his “A” game to the table all the time, boys and girls!
Norm–always a pleasure, Gill-man.
Bath! Shapeshifting is cool, but invisibility would allow me to keep an eye on Salma Hayek. Yeah, baby.
Tpiro…look! I’m answering all the comments! I love getting them, and they’re coming more often. It’s just so nice to hear that people are enjoying it all.
Brock…I’m with Norm. Great exerpt.
Amanda! I hope that Brock’s utter awesomeness is going to rub off on the rest of us TTF’ers. There’s a bunch of good interviews in the archive, and be sure to look at all the amazing artists’ sites. No foolin’…there’s talent top to bottom with these fine folks.
Mr. Devito! Th3rd World is always welcome here! Thanks for the comments…I’m really trying to get good questions out there and get interesting discussions started!
El…thanks, amigo! I’m going to post every Monday now…just like the pro webcomickers out there, consistency and growing the audience is everything. We’re taking TT Radio to the next level, baby.
John! If I got another fan for Brock, then it’s a job well done. The Gospel of Captain Spectacular must be heard!
