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.

EOW: Green Goblin

Please join us in congratulating Green Goblin Norman Osborn as Evil Inc’s Employee of the Week. Norman has been a loyal villain for decades now. He was one of the very first masked villains on the scene. But in the past few years, he has catapulted his career to stratospheric heights of evil … and he’s done so by removing his mask.

Sure, he’s not afraid to don the Goblin suit and go toe-to-toe with some charged-up opponents, but Norman has been at his absolute zenith in his Brooks Brothers suit, becoming perhaps one of the pre-eminent forces for bad in the Marvel Universe.

Take his cucumber-cool response to seeing his Thunderbolts team obliterated in Michael-Phelps-time when their stronghold is attacked by the Captain Marvel Skrull. It happens in Secret Invasion #5. Megatons of meta-ability lay prostrate at his loafers, and Norman bests the Skrull with exactly 169 words. (Click on the panel above for start-to-finish action.)

Among the finest of the Osborn verbiage, as he confronts a Captain Marvel who still grapples with his Skrull-ness:

I know something about not being sure if you’re really pink… or green.

If you happen to catch him sliding his glider into the Employee-of-the-Week parking spot in the Evil Inc garage, be sure to shake his hand and have a few words with the man who may just be the very top villain in the entire Marvel Universe.

Just don’t go very far beyond 150 or so,

Any more than that and we can’t be held responsible.
