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 Handbook — Home stretch

Posted on July 10, 2013 by Brad Guigar
I wanted to make sure you had an an opportunity to participate in the Kickstarter campaign for my new book, The Webcomics Handbook, before it ends in a few days. If you ever wanted a digital copt of the classic How To Make Webcomics book that I co-wrote along with Scott Kurtz, Dave Kellett and Kris Straub, you now have opportunities to snag one — and they’re not available anywhere else! Just pledge at the $29-, $46- or $60-tier and it’s yours! Also, I’ve made available some rare copies of the original HTMW that are signed by all four authors. I have only ten of them, and they’re available at the $90 level. This Kickstarter is launching not only the new book, but it’s also bringing back a couple episodes of Webcomics Weekly (maybe three, if we can hit $25K) and launching a new podcast interview series in which I’m going to sit down with some of the best in Webcomics and pick their brains. It comes to an end on July 18. If you want some of these cool rewards, your time is running out.
