Merry Christmas, everyone! Usually Defenestration posts new nonfiction on Wednesdays, but since today is Christmas (and because a new issue of fresh poetry and short stories just went live a few days ago) I decided to make a special Ben & Winslow comic.

Santa and his various incarnations have had all sorts of helpers, followers, and hangers-on. Today, Ben and Winslow would like to share some of those individuals with you.

She’s going to be really mad when she realizes all that extra tape was unnecessary.

I don’t know why these aren’t popular anymore.

This could be Winslow’s best costume yet. Hopefully not.
