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.

Chicago Comic Con

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Brad Guigar
Chicago Comic Con: Aug 8-11It’s hard to believe, but Chicago Comic Con is this weekend! This will be the first time I’ve been back to that show in years and I’m really looking forward to it! I’ll be in Artists Alley (lower level) at Table H31. Besides having the Evil Inc books and original art on hand, I’ll also have copies of the classic “How To Make Webcomics” book, and I’ll be spending a lot of time talking about the upcoming “Webcomics Handbook.” Additionally, I’ll be hosting two panel discussions: Webcomic 101 Friday, August 9 2:00pm – 2:45pm Room 50 Webcomics Bootcamp Saturday, August 10 4:00 – 5:30pm Room 50

Webcomics 101

Fri., 2 p.m.: This is for everybody who wants to take their comic to the next step. We’re going to do a step-by-step tutorial covering the installing of a Content Management System (Comic Easel for Word Press). Your CMS is one of the most important aspects of your webcomic, and many of us avoid working on this because it seems so complicated. I’m gonna try to de-mystify it and show you how you can have a sleek, classy Web site operational in no time at all.

Webcomics Bootcamp

Sat., 4 p.m.: This is actually two panels in one. For starters, you can sign up for a personal one-on-one consultation with me. We’ll go over your work, identify strengths and find ways to improve. It’s a private discussing, and I won’t be using any of the stuff we discussed in the public panel. But spaces are limited, so if you want to jump it, do it now. Then, at 4 p.m. on Saturday, I’m going to do a panel in which I run down ten things that you can do right now to improve your webcomic. We’ll be talking art, writing, site design, social media — the whole ball of wax. Having lead critiques at Webcomics.com since 2009, I see the same basic mistakes done repeatedly. We’re gonna go through ’em one-by-one and show you how to do it better.
