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.

More good news to pass along! All systems are GO for another trip to Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con! This has been a highlight on the convention circuit for me ever since I started going out there, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll get to go again.
Recapping my earlier announcement, I’ll be attending C2E2 in Chicago, making good on a six-year-old promise I made to get back into the Chicago area.
Rounding out the schedule thus far is the Calgary Comics Expo (in Canada, no less!), New York Comic Con in October, and, of course, Comic Con International in San Diego.
I haven’t ruled out
If you’d like me to come to a convention near you, please write to the promoter of your nearest convention and ask them to have me appear as a guest. You’d be amazed at how much power an e-mail like that wields.
