I thought Zombie Ben Franklin was vanquished back when Clone of Ben Franklin accidentally summoned a horde of zombie ninjas. Malibu or not, he should be fertilizer several times over by now.
Well hair growth is a kind of excretion, and their bodies must process those brains somehow,Combine that with the law of conservation of mass and you get the picture.
True, but I’m pretty sure Mr. Barkalow was just adapting a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead quote there. (Though, to be fair, I might not have caught that either if not for the ellipsis before “moustache.”)
Despite the term “grey matter” (which refers to one type of tissue in the interior of the brain, to distinguish it from the lighter “white matter”), brains really are pink or even red on the outside, because they’re covered in blood vessels. They lose color when dead and drained of blood, like the rest of the human body, but obviously Dr. Lee would take care to provide only delicious fresh brains.
We here at Skin Horse take great pride in scientific accuracy, which is why this strip also includes a zombie who can grow a mustache.
His hiccups draw mass from bodybuilders in other universes, and replace it when he returns to gerbil form. Unfortunately, the targeting on the replacement process is a little wonky, so a subset of bodybuilders in other universes have been turned into spherical balls of muscle.
They all, each and every one of them, think “Oh no, not again!” Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly *why* they have thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
Presumably they don’t come with memories, so probably no moreso than a newborn baby. 🙂 And if it makes you feel better, brain tissue lacks pain sensors, so they shouldn’t feel anything when they are devoured.
Not to be confused with Ghost Ben Franklin, who’s in Australia at the moment.
Or Time-Traveler Ben Franklin, who is currently running the American Superhero Association.
Or Ben Franklin’s Clone, who lives in Cumberland
I cannot like BrokenEye’s reply enough. Gotta love Dr. McNinja references.
or girl ben Franklin, who’s in Oregon, I guess.
Just let it go, My Name Is Not Zombie Ben Franklin With Mustache.

Skin Horse / Dr. McNinja crossover?
I’m down.
As cool as that would be, if they were going to do that, they’d have to point out that Zombie Ben Franklin lives in Cumberland, Maryland.
So Anna Sigma built Dracula’s moon laser!

Zombie Ben Franklin,
Though you look the same,
You inform the Emperor that’s not your name!
Zombie Ben Franklin,
He keeps calling you,
Trying to correct him, but can’t get through!
You inform the Emperor named Norton,
”Pardon, sir, but I am not that man!
Can’t you see this mustache I am sportin’?
My name is Dan!”
Zombie Ben Franklin
He keeps calling you!
Zombie Franklin really lives in Malibu!
A Dan who can’t get people to call him ‘Dan’? Maybe he’s been thrown out of the Dan Conspiracy!
maybe your just in till death.. and his unlife membership extension is still pending..
A zombie grew a moustache? o.0
or did he grow a moustache before becoming a zombie?

Who says the zombie’s mustache is hair? I’m sure there are ways for a zombie to grow some sort of furry face fungus.
A curious scientific phenomenon is the fact that the fingernails grow after death, as does the… moustache.
Technically, neither hair nor nails grow after death. What happens is that the skin shrinks, giving the illusion of growth.
Of course, in the Narboniverse, things may work differently… particularly where zombies are concerned 🙂

also, a *pink* brain?
Some type of marinade? Colouring/flavouring?
Isn’t that cheating? :-p

This interest in strict scientific accuracy must be the reason we haven’t seen Artie violate conservation of mass even once.
I always figured that Artie was just _really_ heavy as a gerbil, and on the lighter side as a human. Or maybe the other way around.
His hiccups draw mass from bodybuilders in other universes, and replace it when he returns to gerbil form. Unfortunately, the targeting on the replacement process is a little wonky, so a subset of bodybuilders in other universes have been turned into spherical balls of muscle.
Probably they have Pepto-Bismol incorporated into them, so the zombies won’t get indigestion from all the yummy brains they will soon be eating!
The idea that Skin Horse is scientifically accurate is very disturbing for those of us who apparently live in the same county as Zombie Ben Franklin.
Do… do the brains have any thoughts before they are devoured?
They all, each and every one of them, think “Oh no, not again!” Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly *why* they have thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a reference to Josh Kornbluth’s “Ben Franklin Unplugged”

I saw Purple Ben Franklin on the SEPTA once when I visited my brother and sister-in-law.
