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.

Evil Inc Monthly, September 2014

Whew. Guys… GUYS! It was a fantastic summer. I spent more time with my two sons that I ever have. We made road trips, we played in the park, we just hung out and enjoyed each other’s company. But I’m paying for it like a fiend right now. So here’s the September eComic. It’s pretty late, and I’m sorry for that. It’s going to have to be updated with a couple of comics and the color versions of the last two weeks of strips… …BUT… Because of my raging guilt, I made the bonus feature extra big, and I’m already going full-steam on the October comics. Thank you for your patience and understanding. And for those of you who aren’t feeling so patient or so understanding — believe me — I understand. Here’s the promo chatter. Evil Inc Monthly, August 2014, is available! It’s once again possible to download the upcoming Evil Inc comic strips for this month as a convenient download, perfect for your iPad, Kindle Fire, iPhone or other digital device — even your desktop! And now… you can subscribe to get them delivered to you automatically every month! They usually get uploaded on the first Monday of every month. If some of the strips appear in black-and-white, a free update will be released shortly thereafter with the color versions as soon as they’re ready. Just click this little green button…
Patreon_textbug Patreon supporters over the $5/month level automatically get this monthly comic as part of their reward package! Or you could just subscribe to the comic itself for 99¢ a month. This month’s comic continues the storyline launched last month as Miss Match, Elastic Man, Amazing Amazon and Mr. Fabulous are captured and transported to an organizer of exotic big-game hunting expeditions — and they’re the prey! Can they quit arguing amongst themselves long enough to stay alive? And for the Bonus Feature — oh, man! As a way to celebrate the digital release of the 416-page book, The Complete Greystone Inn, I’m grabbing all of the Greystone Inn strips from a very exciting Autumn that saw the premier of Sam Snood, a film-noir-style turkey detective as well as the Curse of Rafinesque. Plus, a quaint country Christmas (inspired by the Bad Axe, Michigan, holidays of my youth) culminates in a marriage proposal!
