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… on stage
BLC’s
Dave Kellett was part of a awesome comedic play called “Skirts & Flirts.” If you missed that sold-out run, you’re in luck: He’ll be doing two more performances to raise money for an LA-based homeless outreach program called
Food On Foot.
Showtimes are Monday, October 23rd and Tuesday, October 24th at The National Comedy Theatre, 733 Seward St….both at 8 PM. Minimum Donation per ticket is $25 cash or check ONLY (made out to “Food on Foot”).
To book tickets in advance, you can e-mail Dave at dave[AT]davekellett.com, subject “Skirts & Flirts”. But because they’re trying to raise the maximum amount of money for this charity, please make sure you can make it before you book.
PS: HBO will also be coming to the show, scouting for the Aspen Comedy Festival. So if you come, laugh with gusto.
