Somewhere in this great nation is a top-secret government agency in charge of providing aid to America's nonhuman citizenry. Perpetually overworked and underpaid, these dedicated civil servants soldier on with a dedication exceeded only by their respective passions for heavy rifles, stylish footwear, and good sturdy squeaky toys. They're not our country's best nor our country's brightest, but to all the lost and lonely creations of misguided science wandering the wild places of this country, they are a beacon of minimum-wage hope. This is their story.

Does the sign in the first panel really read “EYEBALL RAZOR CHIMPS”?
And… anybody know what’s going on with the “official” Skin Horse website? After a couple months of increasingly erratic behavior it seems to have gone all the way down yesterday…

Nick can see clearly now which way to go …
Which way will lead us to the secret room …
We’ll find the A.Il. that we call GODOT
Right through that stark, dark tunnel of doom!
There’s lots of deadly things, like zombie hordes,
There’s angry dogs, lava, and loose wires!Lasers and bears! Gas leaks that cause fires!Radioactive gas that goes “kwa-FOOM!” …
Watch out for crocodiles and pointy swords
There in that stark, dark tunnel of doom!
What’s gonna happen when they reach their goal?
(That’s if they make it there, which I assume …)
They’re quoting Unamuno as they stroll
Into the stark, dark tunnel of doom!
Yes, it’s so stark, dark, just like a tomb!

@puddleglum: Apparently the erratic behavior was caused when someone hacked into the site and was using it to store huge (probably illegal) files. More info on the Skin Horse Facebook page.

In the real world, no one has ever died from a zombie attack.
Real zombies are perfectly harmless.

Hey, guys! We’re having some trouble with DreamHost (the folks who normally serve the page) and are currently working on a solution. Thanks for your continued readership!
And you’re right, when it comes to stupidly destructive science, both Anasigma and St. Charlie have some similar ideas. The main difference is that Anasigma will go to their grave insisting that their stuff makes sense.

Just feed their reanimated constructs, misnamed “zombies.”

A new film coming out soon, “Warm Blood” is a nice fresh take on the carnivorous reanimated dead. Can’t wait for it! Beware of the “Bonies!” They are the final end product of the infection and they are dangerous and fast predators.

LASERs would set of a gas leak.

Wow – I had no idea Skin Horse was on the gocomics site. I usually just go to the official site. Glad I’ve been able to keep up with the story!

Why is there a tunnel on a train? Only on St. Charlie!
@Lemurchan: I hope your solution involves another hosting company. This stuff has been going on WAY too long for any excuses.

Do the Sunday comics not appear on this site? I was looking for today’s, couldn’t find it, and then noticed on the calendar that all the other Sundays are also grayed out.

Unfortunately, the bonus content is exclusive to the main site.
