There are some Bigfoot problems that hit harder than others — and for certain legendary figures, male pattern baldness anxiety isn’t just about looks… it’s about legacy. Today’s comic imagines what happens when one very famous cryptid starts wondering if his myth might not survive a receding hairline.
What I’m Watching: Invincible, JJK, and the Great Animation Trade-Off
I’ve been watching Invincible with my sons, and I’ve got… thoughts.
First off: the story? Very, very good. Genuinely compelling stuff — even though the violence and gore is way past my personal comfort range. I'm not super comfortable with one character shooting another. The stuff that happens on a median-level episode of Invincible is a real challenge for me.
As someone who does NSFW comics, I'm constantly amazed at how perfectly acceptable Invincible is... yet an animated series based on Phil Foglio's XXXenophile would have people losing their ever-loving minds.
Further, it's a little disappointing to go from watching Jujutsu Kaisen (which we're also following at the moment) to watching Invincible.
JJK features jaw-dropping visuals and animation that constantly raises the bar episode after episode. It's phenomenal.
On the other side of the spectrum, Invincible clearly put all of its budget into getting celebrity voice talent. Some of them are very good.
I just wish a few of those Amazon dollars had been spent on the animation. Some of the scenes are pretty clearly PNGs that get enlarged to show an object moving through space, and it's a goddamned embarrassment.
But the story itself is very, very good.
Courting Disaster
Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday.
You’ll laugh your pants off.This week’s question:
Q: At the beginning of this year, I had what I thought was a one-night stand. I met a flight attendant at my job and we ended up having sex the same night. Since that time it has turned into more than that. She has come to my town for work quite often and we have seen each other four or five times. For a while I was thinking it was just the great sex that was igniting my feelings. However, I find myself having stronger feelings now. How can I differentiate between sexual feelings and “real emotions?” I have told her that I really like her. There is one other aspect that may be driving me crazy: I am white and she is black and I have always craved being with a black woman. It was more explosive than I ever imagined and now black women are the only women I want sexually. Is this normal? How can I get my feelings together? –Come Fly With MeGo on over and offer some
advice.
