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.

If you’re going to be anywhere near Baltimore this weekend, you’ve got tons of reasons to be at the Baltimore Convention Center. First of all, its going to be a rare chance to catch all of the Halfpixel crew in the same place at the same time. We’ll have copies of our
How To Make Webcomics book on hand if you’d like to get one signed by all four authors.
And if you’re a fan of the
HTMW book, you’ll want to catch the Harvey Awards Ceremony Saturday night. Our book is up for an award, and our own Scott is the emcee for the event. Just trust me on this: You want to be there.
Of course, I’ll have all four
Evil Inc graphic novels on hand as well as the
Phables book. I’ll also be selling matted prints of selected strips and original art. I’ll also be accepting commissions for sketches. If you’re interested in something specific from the Evil Inc store,
drop me a line, and I’ll try to have it on hand for you.
