Description

It’s about time Winslow got back into the genetic engineering game. Maybe this time he’ll finally do some good. Could you imagine the Senate floor overrun with acid-spitting monstrosities?

(I don’t plan on making a bunch of overly politicized comics this year, but part of the reason I endeavored to drawing as many comics in advance as possible was because I knew I would find many, many opportunities for topical humor. This was one such opportunity.)

More Spine?
And I get the acid; more effective than mud.

Why sling mud when you can spit acid, right?

Thank goodness that's all it was.  When you posted the greyscale teaser on tumblr, I thought you had done something terrible to Ben.  Acid-spitting political monster?  We elect those every November.

That's why I cropped the image like that for the teaser.

Spitting acid is always a welcome ability for genetically engineered creatures

It seems like a common side-effect, though.

Hopefully he'll be more successful, since he actually has a spine.

That could be a later edition. Be sure to put that into Winslow's suggestion box.
