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.

Kickstarter update

Thank you so much for your outpouring of support for my Kickstarter campaign! I’m really excited to be so close to funding so quickly! A few of you have asked for an option to buy all eight books and get all eight PDFs. It’s something I should have thought about to begin with! But it’s an easy fix, so if you were someone who wanted that option, it now exists! EIv8_Kickstarter_chart_NEW
Also… I originally set a limit of 25 for the package of all eight books, but that limit got met so quickly that I realized I may have underestimated the demand for this reward. So I’ve re-set the limit for 50. If you wanted all eight books — but were prevented from ordering it due to the limit — you’ve got a second chance! Thanks again for your encouragement and support. If you haven’t shared your support of this campaign through Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr/etc., please consider doing so. It really helps! Here’s the URL to link to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/guigar/evil-inc-annual-report-vol-8 We’re past the halfway point, and quickly getting to the point of Stretch Goals. If you have an idea for something you’d really like to see offered through this campaign, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line! I’d be thrilled to hear your ideas!
