Intermission — April 23 — Bigfoot Problems

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.

Everybody STUMBLE!






I’m resurrecting this thread from August because I just now figured out how to make those little icons appear for those of you using Internet Explorer! The plea remains the same: I get tons of traffic when people “Stumble” the strip, so please don’t hesitate to do so if one of the gags or scenes strikes your fancy.

I just took a look at my site traffic stats, and I’m seeing a tremendous amount of traffic from StumbleUpon.com.

This is a site through which you can flag interesting sites for your friends or whomever else browses your StumbleUpon page.

First off, THANKS!

Secondly, it made me realize that, perhaps, I should point out the StumbleUpon icon beneath each daily strip that will help you Stumble your favorite Evil Inc strip for your friends. That way everyone knows they can Stumble Evil Inc

As you can see by the illustration above, it’s the first icon after “Share this ‘toon.”

So, what are you waiting for? Get Stumblin’!
