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.

Sweetcheeks

Can I share a little story about my friend, Dave Kellett?

Dave very kindly sent me a thank-you gift recently. Being the joker he is, he addressed it to “BRAD ‘SWEETCHEEKS’ GUIGAR.”

When it was delivered, I was upstairs, working in my studio, and I didn’t hear the mail carrier knocking on my door. I got one of those slips instead — the kind that say that you have to pick up your parcel at the Post Office.

The next morning, as my wife was driving my boys and me to the train station so I could take the kids to school, I asked her to make a stop at the Post Office along the way.

I walked in, rang the bell, and waited.

A huge man walked up to the window to take my slip and retrieve my parcel.

He returned, but just as he was about to push the box through the portal, he stopped, frowned playfully, and said:

“Aw, man! What’s with the ‘Sweetcheeks?'”

I burst into laughter and finally composed myself enough to say that having a comedian for a friend is a blessing and a curse.

As I walked out to the car, I was still giggling to myself.

“What’s gotten into you?” asked my wife.

I told her the story, and we had a good laugh.

She dropped us off at the station for the elevated line, and I took the boys off to school.

Nice story, right? Here’s the button.

As we’re walking up to the school, my 6yo walks up to the first mom he sees on the playground, and says:

“My dad’s friend, Dave, calls him ‘Sweetcheeks.‘”

Luckily, my son’s school is a very liberal school. The woman was all too happy to express her tolerance towards my lifestyle.
