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.

Emerald City Comic Con: Ten Days and Counting!

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Brad Guigar

It’s the first of May and that means that we are only ten days away from one of the Very Best comic conventions in the continental United States. Folks, it just doesn’t get better than the Emerald City Comic Convention. If you’re anywhere near Seattle on May 10-11, it’s a Must-Be event. If you’re not, you should be making plans to get there.

It’s not only the impressive guest list and the cool exhibitors Jim Demonakos and his crew put together. It’s not only the fact that this is a comic-book fan’s comic-book convention. This convention stands apart for one very special reason.

This is one of only two planned events in which all four authors of the How To Make Webcomics book are going to be together to sell, sign and sketch copies of the HTMW book. If you’ve been wanting to pick up a copy — or get yours signed by all four authors — this is the moment.

It’s also significant for Evil Inc fans in that it will be a chance to get your mitts on the newest Evil Inc graphic novel, Evil Inc Annual Report Vol. 3. More than just a collection of the daily strips, this book takes the individual panels of those strips and creates a continuous graphic novel.

Of course, I’ll have available volumes one and two, so you can pick up any that you’re missing. And I’ll have copies of the latest Courting Disaster collection.

And if that isn’t enough… Scott, Kris, Dave and I will be doing a live version of our popular Webcomics Weekly Podcast at the convention. It’s Sunday at 11 a.m., so bring a cup of coffee — as well as your questions and comments on webcartooning. We’re hoping to tape this and release it as its own podcast episode, so start learning how to whistle the theme song now.
