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.

Just for new readers…

I’ve added a special page for readers who are new to Evil Inc. It’s a special synopsis of the storyline to help you quickly catch up with the overall plot. It’s a quick read, and you’ll be familiar with all of the main characters and plot points in a jiffy.

Before I do my rundown of other site features, let me take a moment to thank all of you for responding to my call to use StumbleUpon, Reddit, etc. to promote Evil Inc. It has only been a few weeks since I mentioned it, and currently StumbleUpon and Reddit are dominating my referral logs. In other words, every time you Stumble Evil, an angel gets its wings. Or something. But it sure makes me happy, and helps me to continue to bring you this strip day after day. You guys are the best readers in comics. Before you write, I realize that IE users still can’t see the necessary icons under the strip to participate. I’m still hammering that out. Please bear with me.

And now… the traditional role call of exciting site features…
