+@node Overriding Methods
+@subsection Overriding Methods
+When a method is inherited, you have the option of either keeping the parent's
+implementation or overriding it to provide your own. When you override a method,
+you replace whatever functionality was defined by the parent. Using this concept
+is how we made our lazy dog lazy and our two-legged dog walk on two legs in
+@ref{f:inheritance}.
+
+After overriding a method, you may still want to invoke the parent's method.
+This allows you to augment the functionality rather than replacing it entirely.
+ease.js provides a magic @code{__super()} method to do this. This method is
+defined only for overriding methods and calls the parent method that was
+overridden.
+
+In order to demonstrate this, let's add an additional subtype to our hierarchy:
+@var{AngryDog}. @var{AngryDog} will be a subtype of @var{LazyDog}. Not only is
+this dog lazy, but he's rather moody.
+
+@float Figure, f:super-method
+@verbatim
+    var AngryDog = Class( 'AngryDog' ).extend( LazyDog,
+    {
+        'public poke': function()
+        {
+            // augment the parent method
+            console.log( 'Grrrrrr...' );
+
+            // call the overridden method
+            this.__super();
+        }
+    } );
+
+    // poke a new AngryDog instance
+    AngryDog().poke();
+
+    // Output:
+    // Grrrrrr...
+    // Woof!
+@end verbatim
+@caption{Using @code{__super()} method}
+@end float
+
+If you remember from @ref{f:using-inherited-members}, we added a @code{poke()}
+method to @var{LazyDog}. In @ref{f:super-method} above, we are overriding this
+method so that @var{AngryDog} growls when you poke him. However, we still want
+to invoke @var{LazyDog}'s default behavior when he's poked, so we also call the
+@code{__super()} method. This will also make @var{AngryDog} bark like
+@var{LazyDog}.
+
+It is important to note that @code{__super()} must be invoked like any other
+method. That is, if the overridden method requires arguments, you must pass them
+to @code{__super()}. This allows you to modify the argument list before it is
+sent to the overridden method.
