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.
Recently, I began sharing some “bonus” cartoons on my public
Patreon feed (as well as other social media). I’ve been getting some good response from them and they’re an excellent excuse to exercise some cartooning muscles that I don’t always get to flex.
I’ve been considering making them Patreon exclusives. What do you think? Would getting three of these bonus ‘toons — unavailable anywhere else — entice you to, say, $5 a month on Patreon? Share your thoughts!
Meanwhile, here’s another little fringe benefits. I think some of them would make
excellent T-shirts!
Here’s the first, based on my “Selfie Help” cartoon,
available on high-quality InksterInc T-shirts, and available in several fashionable colors!
