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.

Harvey Award Memories

Posted on October 13, 2009 by Brad Guigar



Y’know how you look at a photograph, and get hit with the realization that it’s a photograph that you’ll always look back on and cherish?

This is one of those photos.

It’s the Halfpixel crew, Kris Straub, Dave Kellett, me and Scott Kurtz, enjoying a cocktail before the Harvey Awards ceremony at the Baltimore Comic Con last Saturday night.

For those of you scoring at home, that’s (left to right) a Vodka Gimlet, Corona, Whiskey Sour and a cropped-out Rum-and-Coke.

Our book, How To Make Webcomics was nominated for a Harvey, but it lost to the Jack Kirby biography — which is very close to losing a Christianity contest to Jesus.

So, no, we were far from disappointed. Especially since Kris, Dave, Scott’s wife Angela and I got front row seats for our buddy Scott’s triumphant performance as the emcee of the evening’s events. Being able to enjoy Scott was one thing, but I gotta tell you, I took great enjoyment in watching Angela watch Scott. The pure joy emanating from that woman was simply spectacular. She couldn’t have been more radiant.

I will be posting items relevant to the Harveys all week at Webcomics.com, so be sure to check back to see the animated intro that Scott and Kris prepared for the evening and excerpts from Scott’s performance.

Besides that amazing evening, the entire show was phenomenal for me. Baltimore and Emerald City are two conventions I try to never miss, and I was reminded of why that was last weekend. I had people in from of my table from the start of Saturday until darned near the end, and I was sketching and greeting as fast as I possibly could to keep up. It was exhausting and exhilarating and thrilling. I met tons of new readers and saw lots of old friends. It was probably one of my happiest convention experiences ever.
