Intermission — April 23 — Bigfoot Problems

Posted on April 23, 2026 by Brad Guigar

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.

OtakuBooty

Please welcome a new Sponsor of Evil: OtakuBooty.

This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” sites that I think many of you are going to appreciate. It’s a dating site for intelligent fans of anime, manga and gaming. As of Spring 2006, OtakuBooty has over 4,800 members and is poised for rapid growth in the coming months.

Many of you are familiar with one of my other comics, Courting Disaster, which is a weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships. Every week I post a question on the site which is then discussed in a free chatroom. Wanna know the question that gets sent in more than any other topic?

How do I find someone who likes the same things I do?

OtakuBooty has your answer.

Here’s a little bit from their Web site:

What unique features does OtakuBooty have?
OtakuBooty was built from scratch on custom-developed software with an emphasis on community development and togetherness. Other anime “dating” sites are built with generic, pre-built, cookie-cutter software.

No “avatars� are allowed; all members use real photographs of themselves. Nearly all the content on OtakuBooty, from pre-formatted profile comments to graphical site themes, comes from members themselves.

One example: The special Friends-Only Pictures galleries. Members can maintain a separate gallery of pictures that are visible only to people they’ve marked as friends. As you might guess, these can be interesting.

Why is there a small fee to gain full membership privileges on OtakuBooty when many other sites are free?
This is key to our success. Taking a cue from the SomethingAwful forums, we implemented this fee because it encourages positive participation in the community. Nobody wants to pay money just to misbehave on the forums and get thrown off the site.

Another factor is that OtakuBooty does not typically accept paid advertising from other sources. We’re independent; we don’t want to have to answer to advertisers.
