Monster of the Day #1229

Sorry about yesterday, the site was down before I left for work, then I went out last night. Still, Halloween draws ever closer.

“Lost in the Graveyard” seems the least of his problems. I really, really miss the day where you’d draw this and then toss in a bat to make it spookier.

    ‘No shirt, no shoes, no service buster!’

    And I think the bat is going to use the distraction as a chance to fly into the young lady’s hair.

    Yeah, that bat definitely makes this scene scary. Because who would ever be frightened by two pairs of skeletal arms seeking to drag you into a grave? Really, given how often things like this happen in fictional universes, I wonder why they don’t just cremate all the corpses to prevent them rising to seek revenge and get it over with.

    Now I’m wondering with the flash effect if the skeletal hands are electrified? Gee, I think most viewers can see them, not like you have to call extra attention to them.

  • Eric Hinkle

    That makes it sound like something from the “Weird Menace” pulps. Lure your enemy out to the Haunted Graveyard, have the fake bony arms laced with high-powered wires snatch him, and it’s “Omigosh! The Killer Skeletons have struck again!”

    I think those are sarcasm quote marks.

    Oooh do you get “lost” in our two acre graveyard?

    I wonder if Stanley Thomas did the artwork, based on a story by John Ray James.

  • Luke Blanchard

    I can see your reasoning, but it’s by Bill Everett. His signature is in the lower right corner. The GCD attributes the last one to him as well.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Maybe the skeletal arms are trying to save him from the hot blonde because she’s actually a vampire?

    “Come on pal! You don’t want HER to be nibbling on your neck!”
