Uh oh this is The New Yorker all over for me again. There's probably something subtle I'm missing here. Can someone please explain the punchline for this one?

He always looks like that. Hes a skeleton and so everyone is uncomfortable around him.

The title adds a bit of context to the character but introducing the idea that in October he can just be himself because his appearance is seasonally appropriate.

Not exactly funny but I enjoy the worlds that the author builds via these single panel comics.

If he always looks like that then I don’t understand what changes in October?

I think this is the fourth comic from this artist I've seen in the last day or so. The art is always on point. The jokes... really put the focus on the artist's talent for visual art.

I think Graham Annable is my favorite cartoonist. The hidden people occupy a wonderful and creepy portion of my soul.

Definitely the same for me. I absolutely adore the art and the art style.

I checked out his mastodon, I'm totally in love! It's perfection

That's today's comic

It's so well drawn and you're right, it's absolutely adorable

Class pictures in October?

Love this guy's work. Can't put my finger on it, but the cartoons remind me of old Playboys.
