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.

PhilCon 2006 Con Report

PhilCon 2006 Con Report

PhilCon was my last convention appearance of the year and I can definitely say I went out on a high note. As you may remember from an earlier post, I was a little hesitant about this convention. However, once I got there, I realized that I had lucked into a very nice convention thrown by excellent people. One of the organizers even came over to make sure I didn’t have any hard feelings about their guest policy. One of the many people who came up to say hello and peruse through the books was Mark Sachs (above, right) who illustrates A Miracle of Science.

One of the highlights of the weekend for me was when I was first setting up my table. A woman selling clothing at an adjacent booth was talking with me as I unfurled my vertical banner — which features the illustration of Miss Match from the first Evil Inc Annual Report. She took a sidelong glance at the illustration and said, “Oh. You should be next to Frank.”

“Frank?” I asked.

“Yeah,” she continued matter-of-factly, “He has all the porn.”

I gamely explained that this was a newspaper comic strip that didn’t really qualify as “porn,” but my heart wasn’t in it.

My mind was still boggling over Frank.

I mean, geez. How hard did he have to work to get all the porn?

And where does he keep it? He’d need an entire warehouse of beds to stash it all under, wouldn’t he?

Sensing I’ve gone too far, I’ll turn to Super-Fan Veronica who you can see holding the proof copy of Evil Inc Annual Report Volume 2. Her cousin, Tim, took the photo. He says he has mathematical proof that women are evil.

Now that’s applied mathematics.

I will be finalizing the ISBN/bar code issues this week, but if that stuff’s not important to you, you can buy Evil Inc Annual Report Volume 2 today.
