Sometimes these months (and even days) sneak up on you, but here we are: the August 2017 issue of Defenestration, the halfway point in our 14th volume, if you can believe it (you can’t). And what do we have for you? Another issue filled with the weird, the absurd, and the hilarious. We’re going to

I don’t know what to say about this one except everything about it is true, true, true.

I realized that it was August but I had only done one summer-themed comic, and that comic wasn’t even uploaded in the summer. So to rectify that, here’s a comic about the pool! I don’t really get to enjoy the pool these days. I have so many kids that a trip to the pool is really me playing lifeguard for several hours while one or more children cling to me like soggy monkeys. But I’m glad folks like Winslow are able to enjoy themselves, even though his enjoyment involves ruining the pool for everyone else.

The title of today’s Ben & Winslow comic probably brings to mind a song. Are you thinking of a song? A song about moonmen?

Some people shed skin. Winslow sheds heads.

I don’t know if you’re aware of this (and I probably wouldn’t have paid much attention but I’ve got four kids, so…), but a lot of grocery stores have shopping carts shaped like little cars. The benefit to these things is that they can usually hold two small, squirming children instead of the usual one, making grocery shopping that much more bearable. But some of these things are true monstrosities.

Winslow has a terrible time holding down jobs. Like, really terrible. As a professional ne’er-do-well, Winslow is perpetually unemployed. But that never stops him from trying. I’m sure that makes him a better person.

Hey! There’s a new Spider-Man movie out! And a Venom movie on the horizon, which is awesome because Venom is my favorite Marvel villain! And because my 4-year-old pronounces “Venom” as “Benom,” I thought this was appropriate.

Lots of talk about health insurance recently. I wonder why?

I looks like some of the courage that Little Winslow injected Winslow with actually lingered in his system a bit longer than everyone thought. Or else Winslow took a smaller dose this time. Whatever the reason, his newfound courage has apparently replaced other important qualities, like common sense and self-preservation. Let’s all just hope there’s a good burn clinic nearby.
