Defenestration

Turkeybits

Since it’s the day after Thanksgiving and I didn’t feel like putting up a Thanksgiving-themed comic up yesterday, here’s a turkey-themed comic. Because people cook turkeys on days other than Thanksgiving, right? And you probably have some cold turkey leftover from yesterday, right? So turkey’s still fresh in your mind? Maybe even in a sandwich?

The Winslow in the Hat

Obviously this comic is based on the Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat Comes Back. My son is obsessed with it at the moment, and he insists I read it to him twice–sometimes thrice–in one day. I don’t mind, of course. I always liked The Cat in the Hat Comes Back more than its predecessor, The Cat in the Hat. Something about an alphabet’s worth of doppelganger cats in a matryoshka of hats is awesome.

Bikini Robot A-Go-Go!

This fake movie preview is the natural bridge between the cheesy science fiction movies of the 50s and the so-called “beach party” movies of the early 60s. It has robots! It has bikinis! It has robots wearing bikinis! And since no beach party movie is really a beach party movie without Annette Funicello… it has her, too. Albeit in cartoon form.

Walkies, Drinkies, Talkies

The leash laws in Winslow’s town are very specific. Dogs like George are free to wander the streets without a leash, so long as one or more of their owners are nearby. Abnormally-small-people-not-to-be-confused-with-children-or-dwarves (a term the local law books call ASPNTBCWCODs) are supposed to be leashed whenever they’re outdoors. This law was made specifically for Little Winslow, who is a known biter.

Inspired Carvings

Happy (almost) Halloween!

Winslow gets a little carried away sometimes. But only sometimes.

A Flavor Most Diabolical

I’m not a coffee drinker. Never grew accustomed to the flavor. So my interactions with Starbucks and other coffee shops have been limited. My wife, however, introduced me to frappuccinos, which come in non-coffee varieties and, to my delight, also come in a variety of flavors not listed on the menu. Andes Mint frappuccino? Hell yeah. Those things are freaking amazing.

Cloaca Free

Bad joke time! I apologize for nothing!

I learned something new while working on this strip. I looked up “virgin eggs” to see if the term really existed, and was horrified by the answer.

George

It’s easy to get jealous when everyone around you is successful….

Family Circus Freaks

One thing I hate about long-running cartoons is when the creators/writers/producers feel extra characters are necessary to freshen things up. Previously unknown and unheard of family members are the worst (Stanley SquarePants, I’m looking at you).

Home Remedies

I wasn’t originally planning on posting this one today. I wasn’t even planning on drawing it. But last weekend I was doodling, and imagining what Winslow would look like if he were sick, and everything got a little out of control.
