A skeleton standing front-on in a pair of sunglasses, one hand raised in a wave, a jack-o'-lantern pail swinging from the other. It is the halloween coloring page that stays funny rather than frightening, which is the whole reason a skeleton works for children at all. The ribs and the finger bones are the slow part and want a fine tip; the sunglasses and the pail are the only two places where a color belongs, everything else stays bone white. The ghost behind a tombstone is the other graveyard page.
