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.
When I launched Greystone Inn, I put all of the strips for that week into a folder slugged
Week 1. The next week’s folder was
Week 2. It was a habit that just kind of persisted. It helped me stay organized, and, since it didn’t have any real drawbacks, I just continued doing so.
When I ended
Greystone Inn and launched
Evil Inc, I continued my numbering system (instead of starting the first week of
Evil Inc at Week 1).
Believe it or not, the strips that you’re reading this week are on my computer in a folder slugged
Week 500.
And, since I’ve been doing six strips a week, that means Saturday’s comic will mark my 3,000th comic strip (not counting the ones I did for
Courting Disaster and
Phables).
For the record, the 260
Courting Disaster strips and the 97
Phables comics brings the grand total to 3,357.
But who’s counting?
