Hair is a rarity among males of whatever the heck species Ben and Winslow are supposed to be. You’ve no doubt noticed that all the men in these comics are totally bald, while the women enjoy hair of many colors and styles. It’s something that hasn’t sat well with Ben since the very earliest stages of this comic. I can’t say I blame the guy. Hair can be pretty awesome. Also, sometimes hair can be a monkey.
Winslow’s beard is not without precedent. The color is similar to his mom’s hair and the hair of his genetic clone, Willow. Winslow’s uncle, who died after a long fight with cancer, had a similar beard.

Andrew Kaye (known in some circles as AK) is the creator of Ben & Winslow and other questionable comics, many of which can be found in his deviantART gallery and his Tumblr. He’s also the editor-in-chief of this magazine. Duh.
