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.

Merry Christmas! Here’s a gift.

If you’re a fan of Webcomics Weekly, here’s a little Christmas gift for you. This is the fourth (and final) episode of the popular podcast that is brought to you by the campaign to fund my book, The Webcomics Handbook. In it, Dave Kellett, Kris Straub and Brad Guigar look back on the year that was — and make plans for next year. Plus we debate which is the better crowdfunding option — Kickstarter or Patreon. That turns into a discussion of the effects of doing the same comic for more than a decade. New projects are beckoning… but how to return the call? Finally, we wonder aloud… Have we become the old men we used to laugh about? The answer ain’t pretty. You can listen to Webcomics Weekly using the player above… …on the Webcomics Weekly Libsyn site… …or download it on iTunes.
