Looks like Bigfoot’s vocabulary might not be as limited as Scout thought it was. Are these two just starting to understand each other now that Scout’s family might be back? Ah, what cruel timing.
Anyway, thank you for coming back and reading each week. I appreciate every single one of you who shows up (or signs up) and makes it that much more fun for me. Allow me to test your generosity further by asking one small favor: Do you know anyone who might enjoy reading Untold Tales of Bigfoot but isn’t aware of it? If so, why not tip them off to the fun we have here each week. I’d love to get UTOB out to as many potential fans as I can. Thanks.
Hey, more fan art this week! This time I did a fan art exchange with Krishna Sadasivam, creator of the tech-based webcomic, PC Weenies. Krishna, a certified computer-genius and blackbelt-level cartoonist, has a bold, sharp style that explodes with color and visually melds his love of technology and art. You can witness that down below in his awesome depiction of Bigfoot and Scout rockin’ out with some good ol’ mountain music. What a fun piece. If you’d like to see more of Krishna’s work, please visit his long-running webcomic PC Weenies. And while you’re there, you might also take a look at the PC Weenies fan art I did for him! -v
Thanks for stopping by. I’d love to hear what you think of the comic. Just remember, Untold Tales of Bigfoot is for grown-ups and kids. So let’s keep the comments appropriate.

You have to love Scouts drive to get back home, and Bigfoots compassion to stay right along with him. The dialog in the last panel is great, but the panel that really gets me is panel 4 with him clinging to Bigfoots thumb and pleading for help to get home.
Love the Bob fan art you made for Krishna, and what he returned is absolutely amazing. Look at Bigfoot and Scout in their backwoods jam session, that’s awesome stuff.
Yeah, Todd, I think that panel’s the lynchpin of the page. Though he’s technically a trained hunting dog, even Scout must see that he’s going to need a little help from his new acquaintance if he ever wants to get home. It’s probably one of the first moments where Scout is willing to give over a little trust to the big guy.
Thanks for the compliments on my PCWeenies fan art. Those were fun characters to draw. And yeah, Krishna hit it out of the park with that Bigfoot/Scout piece. His style and vibe really come through in that illustration. Thanks for stopping by! -v
That panel where Scout is grabbing Bigfoot’s hand got me right in the heart! I think he’s starting to realize that he needs Bigfoot. I wonder if Bigfoot realizes that by helping Scout find his way home, Bigfoot’s also losing a potential friend. I’m sad and happy at the same time!
Great fan art exchange this week too! I love Bigfoot’s rockin’ out expression.
Ah, yeah, the double-edged sword. Help a friend, lose a friend. Well…there’s no guarantee they’ll find the car. Maybe they’ll stop for ice cream on the way or something! And yes, Krishna’s fan art is great! Thanks for commenting! -v
I’m athinning that ain’t a car they hear. Motorcycle maybe. That thumb grab is so childlike and trusting. A good friend is willing to do what is necessary for the welfare of others. I could use a Bigfoot in my little forest behind the cabin.
Well, heck, I’M not gonna spill the beans. And yeah, sometimes all you need is that thumbgrab to feel secure (or needed, depending on your position in the thumbgrab). I know what you mean, Ol’ gul. I often wish a friendly Bigfoot would come loping out of the woods looking for a new friend. Thanks for reading! -v
In reference to the thumb grab, an excerpt from Max Lucado,
( please excuse the typing errors )
I took my daughter Andrea on a walk some time ago. She was four and curious, so we went to explore our neighborhood.
” Let’s cover some new territory”, I suggested. Off we went, striding confidently out of the safe harbor of our cul-de-sac and stepping into unknown regions.
Capt. Kirk would have been proud.
I thought all the change might trouble her. I thought the new sights and sounds might generate anxiety.
” Are you okay?” I asked.
“Sure”
“Do you know where we are?”
“No.”
“Do you know how to get home?”
“No.”
“And you’re not worried?”
Without slowing her pace she reached up and took my hand and said, ” I don’t have to know how to get home. You already do.”
That’s the feeling I get from the fourth panel. Sniff, sniff. I must have gotten something in my eye. Excuse me for a sec.
Wow, I have just discovered your site and I absolutely love it… You have a great concept, very compelling main characters and beautiful artwork. I’m hooked and have already forwarded your address to my family and friends.
I said this before, but your comment made my day. I always wonder whether or not Untold Tales of Bigfoot is reaching new readers and you’ve confirmed it. Not only that, you even passed it on to your friends and family. Thank you so much! I hope they enjoy it as much as you are. And please stop back! -v
Really like what you did there on the last panel with the balloons flowing around Big Foot, Scout and that (gorgeous) tree. You strike a great balance between the simpler panels and the highly detailed ones. I sure could learn from that!
I’ve been meaning to check out Krishna comic for a good while but I somehow never get around to it. No excuses now!
Thank you, Wouter. My goal with UTOB was to “keep it simple” but I do like to draw more elaborate backgrounds every so often. Problem is, sometimes I blab so much in the word balloons that I don’t have the space. But I enjoy drawing them as much as you enjoy looking at them.Thanks for the compliment.
As for Krishna’s strip, yes, by all means, check it out. As far as technology-based comics go, it’s topical, funny, the characters are endearing and, on top of that, Krishna writes some really useful tech/art blog posts to go along with it. And now he will send me a check for that little commercial I just did. -v
I don’t blame Scout for tugging on ol’ Bigfoot’s thumb… who wouldn’t want a friend like that?
In a survival situation, out in the wild, yes, Bigfoot would be a great friend. If you’re looking for someone to share the driving on long trips, though…look elsewhere. Thanks, Jerry! -v
