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.

Webcomics Start-Up

Posted on June 21, 2014 by Brad Guigar
Wizard-World-Philly-LogoIf you’re coming out to Philadelphia Comic Con today — and you’re interested in starting-up a webcomic (or improving the one you already started), you’re going to want to attend my panel: Webcomics Star-Up Saturday 1:30-2:15PM Room 105 Webcomics_Handbook_GumroadI’m going to demystify the process of setting up a webcomics Web site. We’ll walk through all the steps you’ll need to get a basic site up and running. Then, I’m going to go through 10 ways you can make your webcomics better — right now. In other words, these are ten mistakes I see constantly in reviews, consultations and critiques. Chances are, you fall into one of the categories. The good news is that the fixes are easy, and the results are significant. Plus, one lucky person attending the panel is going  to get a free copy of my new book, The Webcomics Handbook. This sequel to How To Make Webcomics covers webcomics — art, business and beyond — from the top down. I’ll have copies for sale at my booth, #734, in the softcover AND the limited-edition hardcovers that aren’t sold in stores or online.   WizWorld_Phila_map_2014_detail Plus… if you stop by my booth, you can check out my Evil Inc graphic novels, the Pahbles collection and more…

Comics Consultation

As I’ve done in the past, I’ll take a small number of scheduled consultation sessions. This is similar to the Skype sessions that I offer. In fact, I’ll have you use the very same online form to pay for and schedule the session. You will receive a complimentary copy of The Webcomics Handbook (the limited-edition hardcover that sells for $50) when you show up for your consultation. Once you’ve signed up, I’ll get in touch and we’ll schedule the best time for you to come over for your one-on-one consultation. I usually host these sessions at my booth — since we’ll have a little elbow room there — but I’m more than happy to accommodate any special requests you might have. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Original Art

I’ll have a bunch of Evil Inc originals on hand as well. If you have a favorite strip, please drop me a line and let me know so I can have it available for you to look at. These originals are done with black archival ink on heavy bristol board, and the blue pencil sketch is still visible under the final art. They really do look good when people mat-and-frame them. Many an outhouse wall have been significantly spruced, I’m telling ya.

Commissions

If you’ve seen me at conventions, you know the deal. You can get on my commission list at the show and I’ll do a personalized piece of art just for you. $20 for a single figure (little or no background), and $40 for a completed piece. However, if you buy a book, I’ll do a headshot sketch inside the book at no charge whatsoever.

Panels

I’ll be hosting one more tremendous panel on Sunday… Patreon Primer Sunday, June 22 3:00-3:45PM Room 109 Patreon has become the most significant force in comics crowdfunding since Kickstarter. Webcomics veteran Brad Guigar leads a guide to using Patreon successfully to fund your comics business.
