I think I’m going to get to a point where my comics become so absurd that nothing makes sense anymore. Just going to let the whole thing devolve into weirdness.

Defenestration: August 2021
Good morning, everyone! Happy Friday and best wishes to all of you on this fine 20th of August! And welcome! Welcome to the latest issue of Defenestration, which, if we’ve assembled this thing correctly (and we think we have), contains the sum total of everything you have ever thought was hilarious and condensed it into an easily consumable format. (And coming soon: Defenestration, the suppository!)

Another year, another issue of Defenestration! And this begins Volume 18, which means Defenestration is legally an adult. We’re going to light some fireworks, eat some cake, and destroy a piñata. Let the merriment begin!

Fiction
“What’s wrong?” by Priyanka Kole I called her,
Lily on 1st April,
Julie on 15th,
Rekha on 3rd May.
She didn’t complain, yell, or punch me in the face.
Poetry
“Another Server Calls me ‘Young Lady,'” by Tina Barry I’ve blown into the bakery, a witch
for fine pastry—buns, biscuits and better—
warm cookies crisp. My stare turns sweets unsavory. My broom
sours sables, toughens muffins.
Visuals
“Captain Ahab: A Sonnet,” by Aaron Caycedo-Kimura For your Sunday enjoyment: a comic that is also a poem!
