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.
Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday.
You’ll laugh your pants off. This week’s question…
A reader writes… Q: My husband and I became friends with a younger couple in our neighborhood about two years ago. I noticed that the other woman and my husband always sought each other out no matter where we were to talk and be close. He assured me that they were just friends, and I trusted him. After noticing that he was being very sneaky with his cell phone, I ordered copies of his cell-phone records. To my horror, I found that they had been having an “emotional affair” for at least six months. He said it had nothing to do with love, lust or sex, just two friends talking. Here is my problem: My husband is adamant that I not tell her husband. He says he’s sorry and that it was a terrible mistake on his part. He has begged me to forgive him, but I don’t know if I can ever forgive or forget. Do I just live with it or do I tell her husband and get the revenge I so desperately want?
