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.

Evil Inc Annual Report Vol 3: Update

I’m thisclose to submitting my order to the printer for Evil Inc Annual Report, Vol. 3, and it just hit me… I forgot to tell you guys why this book is so important to me!

This book marks my official transition to self-publishing. This will not be a print-on-demand product. I will be printing the books in bulk, storing them and handling orders, distribution and shipping myself. If I can make this work, it’s going to be a huge step in what I’ve been building with this site.

Thanks to the strong preorders I have almost enough funds to place my order. If you haven’t placed an order yet, I can’t encourage you strongly enough to do so now!

You have six options for ordering! You can get the book itself or a special Artist’s Edition with an original, signed sketch.

You can also get your order bundled with Volume Two or with both Volume Two and Volume One! Check out this page for the details!

If you haven’t seen the inside of the Annual Report series, you’ll want to check out the sneak preview. Instead of the usual comic-strip collection, I take the individual panels from the strips and lay out a graphic novel. It’s a tremendous way to experience the comic that you’re going to love.
