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.

Since we didn’t get to it yesterday, we pick up where the previous podcast left off and talk about our favorite Christmas movies. We each have a Top-3 list prepared, but, of course, max found a way to sneak a few more movies in.
Show notes
The voice actors I was struggling to remember were
Harold Peary and
Morey Amsterdam. Both provided voices for one of my favorite Christmas TV specials — Rudolph’s Shiny New Year. And — to my great disdain — I forgot the other magnificent voices that made that special so special. They are:
Good fanboys and geek girls will immediately recognize Frank Gorshin’s voice from his stint as the Riddler on the ’60s
Batman TV series. Paul Frees? He was Bullwinkle’s foil, Boris*. And Don Messick was Scooby Doo, Papa Smurf (TV), and Dr. Benton Quest. Red Skelton was a vaudeville-age comedian who successfully made the transition to radio and then TV. (Although some stories characterize him as much kinder on-stage than we was off-stage.)

* Thank you to the kind reader who pointed out that I had mistakenly credited Frees as Tigger. That was, of course, Paul Winchell.
