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.

Heroes for Heroes


If you’re looking for a signed copy of one of the Evil Inc or How To Make Webcomics books, this Saturday might be your lucky day. I’m going to be signing books and doing sketches at Hall of Heroes at the Mooresetone Mall in Moorestown, NJ, this Saturday (noon to five), with all of the money raised going to support a charity called Heroes to Heroes.

Heroes to Heroes will use the money to buy and ship comics and graphic novels to our troops overseas as part of the Heroes For Heroes Project.

Additionally, people interested in helping can donate their own comics and graphic novels, or purchase new ones to donate at a reduced price at any of the following locations throughout the rest of the year:

The Comic Book Store
30 North Main Street
Glassboro, NJ 08208
(856) 442-0402

Hall of Heroes, Hamilton Mall

Level Up Entertainment
Tilton Times Plaza Space A

At the beginning of January, everything collected will be sent to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces serving in the Middle East, as a morale booster.

If you are (or know) a comic store owner, comics professional, or simply an interested citizen who would like to help, contact Michael Dolan at (609) 344-2648 or [email protected] for more information on contributing to this cause.
