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.

Patreon, so far this year…

I was just browsing my Patreon Activity feed, and it struck me how much I’ve uploaded there since the beginning of the year. If you are considering supporting my Patreon campaign, please have a look at everything that’s waiting for you — much of which is accessible for as little as $1 a month! (I’ve obscured some of the punchlines and comments.) What’s cool about Patreon is that you have the ability to get notifications every time I upload something new. So you don’t have to worry about following Evil-Inc.com and Guigar.com and Arch-Bros.com, etc. You get first look at all comics for Guigar.com and Arch Bros long before they post on their respective Web sites. And, if you’re a $5/month supporter, you get the Evil Inc comic with the upcoming months’ comics (plus a bonus in every issue)! If not to support one of your favorite independent cartoonists, consider this a small investment in your own time management! Patreon_sample
