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.

Professor Guigar…? Brad Guigar to teach Arts Entrepreneurship at Hussian School of Art

Bourse Building
The Hussian School of Art is located on the second floor of Philadelphia’s historic Bourse Building.
When I transitioned to full-time cartooning in April of 2012, I mentioned that one of the things I wanted to do that I didn’t previously have the time to pursue was teaching at the college level. Eighteen months later, I have some very good news to share. In January, I will be teaching a senior-level course on Arts Entrepreneurship at Hussian School of Art. Located in Philadelphia’s historic Bourse Building, Hussian is a private vocational school for graphic design and commercial art. For a long time now, I’ve argued (sometimes loudly on Webcomics Weekly) that art schools need to do a better job of preparing their students for the Real World they’re being thrust into. And that means an overwhelming probability of freelance work and running a small business centered around one’s craft — not the studio jobs and staff positions that were prevalent decades ago. In short, it’s not enough to teach a student to draw or design. To really serve the students, an art school needs to teach them entrepreneurship. Now I get to back up those words with action. And I’m super excited to have the chance to do exactly that at Hussian.Hussian School of Art
