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.
Two New Sponsors of Evil
Please welcome two new Sponsors of Evil!
The first if
Bunky Nuglets. Bunky is a tightly-drawn personality-based comedy by Anthony Orr. From the creator’s blog on the first day of posting the comic:
The idea of Bunky Nuglets came to me a while back while setting at a coffee shop, I started drawing these weird little characters based on people I know just for fun. Then I started thinking, “Hey, maybe I should do something with this.” So I started to develop the idea within the period of a year. Developing characters, working on strips and gags. Some of them based on my life, some based on fabrication, and some a little of both.
The other is a game — and a darned interesting one, too, from my perspective.
TinyWarz is a free massively multiplayer, turn-based game where players battle other players and computer controlled bandits on distant worlds. Time is an important factor in TinyWarz – players are given a limited amount of time to finish their turns and are rewarded for early completion. In TinyWarz, each player is represented by a commander which they can customize through skills and abilities that are purchased with level points.
TinyWarz is designed to be played through your web-browser. However, unlike traditional web-based games, TinyWarz utilizes graphics instead of text. TinyWarz is also fast paced – players need to make quick decisions concerning their units. Fast game-play creates battles that can last a few minutes to an hour.They support Evil, so you go and support them.
