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.

Holiday Shopping, Webcomics style

Posted on December 5, 2008 by Brad Guigar


If you’re like most people, you’re fully in the swing of buying presents for the upcoming holidays. But you’re not most people, are you? No, although you’re on a tight budget, you still pride yourself on choosing unique and thoughtful gifts for the people on your list. You love the look on the recipients’ faces when they light up over your perfectly chosen token of esteem. And you know you don’t find gifts like that at Wal-Mart, don’t you?

So, it is with great pleasure that I bring you the Webcomics Gift Guide. Spanning the World of Webcomics, one can find a little something for every unique person on one’s list:

For: The librarian / bibliophile… any of the Unshelved collections will have her screaming. Quietly.

For: The girl who can hang… a GWS collection will have her laughing… that knowing laugh she uses just before she drinks you under the table.

For: The connoisseur of wild art… slap a little of Eric’s finest and bizarrest on them.

For: The Sci Fi chick… help her adopt a Jinxlet.

For: The Military Sci-Fi affectionado… a Schlock Mercenary T-shirt that explains Rule One: First Pillage, THEN burn.

For: The jigsaw-puzzler… Chris Yates’ Bafflers are hand-painted, one-of-a-kind, and challenging as all get-out.

For: That guy at the office who always has a joke ready… have KC transform it into a custom comic.

For: The person who’s always trying to out-do himself with a hysterical Christmas card… the S*P cards will assure him the top spot on everyone’s mantle.

For: That guy who uses his desk to express his refinement to the world … the Wondermark calendar is the height of sophistication. Twelve individual monthly cards, each 8.5” x 5.5”, sit in a heavy brass easel just SCREAMING sophistication. And they’re devastatingly funny to boot.

For: That hopelesly-lost-in-the-80s guy … Scott Kurtz’s Truth, Justine and the American Way is a brilliant send-up of the decade of leg warmers and Izod shirts.

For: The conspiracy theorist … the Sam and Fuzzy “Ask me about the Conspiracy Theory” T-shirt is sure to please. In forest green, which matches beautifully with almost any tinfoil hat.

For: The old-school Mac user … the “Would you like to destroy the universe?” dialogue box — in Mac OS 9 style — will defrag the hard drive. Of his heart.

For: The plugged-in Preistess … the Lunar Bistro 8-bit Tarot cards will have her seeing joy in her future.

…And of course, there’s this guy. But who would possibly want a book about corporatized super-villains, right?
