    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.
