Is this week's strip an example of jumping on the bonewagon? Or is it merely a case of bone-us content instead? Skullduggery, even?

Elias' head is a dog skull, not a cow skull. I think he added the goat horns to have something to attach his veil to. Wink

I assume Overlord's Ains Ooal Gown will be on the list...

You're missing the greatest skullhead of all: Skeletor!

As for Elias, there's a correction that needs to be made. He's only a skullhead; the rest of him is flesh and blood. He's not a skeleton.

I never got the impression he's a dog himself though. XD

But I agree, Ains definitely needs to be there!

Sounds like somebody's a little bit of a skeleton racist.

Go Google some pictures of dog skulls, preferably of collies or setters and not Poms or bulldogs. Smile

According to the Manga author, it is a huge dog skull with added goat horns. From the afterword of volume 2.

Regardless of what it looks like, that is what she was trying for.

Well, she did a good job because that's exactly what he looks like. Smile

Fun fact: even though cattle have no upper incisors, and no canines or premolars at all, they still have the same number of teeth that people do.

Should be. It's obvious that Albedo and Shalltear endorse it...

IMO that does not make him less of an undead magician (like Skeletor).

Please forgive me everyone,but I have little to no desire to kiss a skeleton. Not now and probably not ever. You know what's a shame. That there isn't a disgust emoticon. Because that would help me convey how I feel about the subject at hand. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation And if I can be even more honest,the mere thought of such a thing would probably put my disgust-o-meter in the red zone! Those are my feelings on it. Why don't many of the characters in this thing feel the same way? Question

Perhaps Summoned Skull from Yu-Gi-Oh would make a good candidate for this? Cool

You do realize that when you kiss a human being, there is an skull inside each and every one of them? It is just a few millimeters below the skin.

Skeletor isn't undead though. He was dying from the pain when the acid hit his face and melted his skin off. He survived via Hordak's magic, but he didn't ever actually die prior to the ritual.

Well,mangamuscle. There are a couple of points you've seem to have forgotten. Human beings,for the most part are living beings. Skeletons or those that are undead aren't living. There is a difference. I have little to no desire to kiss anything dead or undead. I hope I've cleared things up for you.
