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.

Hey Comics — Kids! Halloween movies, part 2

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoBe sure to listen to the announcement at the end of the show about our new Patreon page! http://www.patreon.com/heycomicskids This morning, on our drive to school, we decided to give the topic of Halloween movies another spin. We remembered a couple that we forgot yesterday that we really wanted to talk about — like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. And we came to the collective realization that we’ve never watched Young Frankenstein together — a fact that will be rectified this week! Many of the titles we watched can be found in last week’s Halloween movies round-up on the Evil Inc Web site.
