Ben & Winslow is Defenestration‘s weekly webcomic, written, drawn, and executive produced by Andrew Kaye. From here you can read the most current Ben & Winslow strips from January 2010 onward. Older Ben & Winslow comics can be found in a special section of Andrew’s deviantART gallery. If you’re new to the Ben & Winslow universe, keep reading for brief biographies of the characters.

Where would Ben & Winslow be without Ben and Winslow? Aside from the strip being renamed Ampersand, the strip would also be incredibly boring.

Ben Ben believes he’s the only sane person on the planet, which probably stems from living with a person like Winslow. Ben is Winslow’s opposite; he’s responsible, courteous, and grounded in reality. If the two were cars, Ben would be the Chrysler minivan to Winslow’s Ford Pinto. He’s the closest thing Winslow will ever have to a conscience. And that terrifies him.

Winslow Winslow is many things: irrational, selfish, completely uninhibited. His growing list of character flaws is exacerbated by the fact that he knows he’s a cartoon, and can therefore do whatever the hell he wants with little or no consequences. His hobbies include edged weapons, self mutilation, collateral mutilation, and eating whatever he can fit into his mouth.

Of course, Ben and Winslow are surrounded by all sorts of interesting people. They’re just not nearly as important!

Kurt the Cynic Kurt hates everything. Because everything sucks.

Quentin Sadguy Quentin is always two cuts away from suicide. It’s good to have goals.

Annie Annie is somewhat insane. But only somewhat.

Kate Kate is somewhat busty. And she doesn’t appreciate you staring, either.

Psychic Rob Psychic Rob was cursed with special powers. Now people’s heads explode whenever he gets a headache.

Little Winslow Spawned from Winslow’s head like Athena was from Zeus, Little Winslow is just like his larger progenitor, only pocket-sized.

Laura Laura’s only flaw is that she spends far too much time around cartoon characters.

Attention Whore People like Attention Whore need to stay far, far away from people like Winslow. Bright pink hair, bright blue skin, and a penchant for saying whatever will turn the most heads, Attention Whore is a sensible person’s nightmare.
