This is the last Friday the 13th strip of the year, and since I started the trend of injuring Winslow in the first two (by having his face scraped off in the first one, and by having his face burst into flames in the second), I knew I’d have to do it again the third time around. This one doesn’t have Dr. Spiderqueen in it, but she’ll come in later. So if you’re itching to see her, just be patient. Good times ahead.
Winslow’s family members have not fared well in any of my comics. First I killed off his brother, then his grandfather, and now his uncle. So if any of his remaining family members are out there reading this, I suggest writing up a will, counting your blessings, and finding a nice place to live out your remaining days. You might be next.
I’ve never drawn Ben and Winslow with bathing suits. The one time they were at the beach, it was for the fake movie poster of “Bikini Robot A-Go-Go!” and neither of them wore swim trunks. That’s not really fair, but Ben’s explanation is true. No one would know who was who! So today I’ve rectified that problem, with Winslow’s help. Sometimes the most obvious solution is also the most ridiculous.
Today we move away from the hedonistic world of gummi bears and into the cuter realm of child-inspired comics. “My birthday is in a submarine” is something my three-year old has been telling me for the past month, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what he’s talking about. I told him his birthday was in August, and he answered, “Yes. August is a submarine.”
Your guess is as good as mine, folks.
Ha! I do not even know, guys. I popped two gummi bears in my mouth the other day, and almost immediately, the dialogue for this strip magically appeared in my head. It was such a stupid idea that it made me laugh out loud, so I set aside the strip I had originally planned to draw for today and threw this one together instead.
I sometimes wonder what the hell is going on in Winslow’s mind, and then I remember that I’m the one putting those thoughts into his head in the first place….
