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:
I’m a tenant in a four-apartment building with paper-thin walls and floors. For a while I have been having problems with two of my neighbors. When they have sex, they’re so loud that I can hear everything just as clear as if they were in the next room instead of on another floor. I’ve expressed my discomfort to them before, and I’ve asked if they could have a little consideration. The guy appears to be respecting my feelings, but the girl has not — and really has only gotten louder. Many couples have lived in and been “active” in the unit over the years, but there’s never been a problem like this. I know everyone has the right to do what they do in the bedroom, but I feel I also have a right to be respected, and if I’m uncomfortable with what they do they should at least take into consideration how I feel. Am I wrong for feeling this? And what else could I do in terms of doing something about it? — Down DownstairsGo on over and offer some
advice.
