Intermission — April 23 — Bigfoot Problems

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.

Dave Kellett Needs Help

Dave Kellett Needs Help

BLC’s Dave Kellett needs your help. He’s moving his daily strip, Sheldon, to http://www.sheldoncomics.com tomorrow.

He’s leaving United Media to go completely independent… which means he needs help spreading the word to as many people as possible. The majority of Sheldon readers currently get the strip via “comics.com/comics/sheldonâ€?, or via United Media’s e-mail delivery. And when the strip moves, these readers won’t have any way of know where the strip went to (Dave tried putting a notice in the strip…it got edited out).

Are you going to let those jerk-offs do that to Dave?

Hell no. Not when fighting them is so danged easy.

Right now, while you’re thinking about it, take two minutes and post this infomation on your Web site, in a forum you visit, or on your personal blog: Dave Kellett’s Shelon is moving to http://www.sheldoncomics.com .
