On closer inspection of the table Cubone's sitting at, there's 4 empty shot glasses and a mostly empty beer...little fella's been getting WASTED! o.o

Drowning his sorrows about his dead mother isn't going to bring her back...I think Cubone needs an intervention.

You know looking back, the fact that he wears his mother's skull on his head IS kinda creepy.

Thinking about it now, how do you suppose Cubone/Marowak culture works? Do all of their moms die at some point and they have to wear their mom's skulls as some sort of rite of passage or something? 0_o

Regardless, I still love the little guy.

Or a good cuddle.

Cuddles can make the bad thoughts go away, but I don't know how that would work considering the skull he's wearing. :/

That's just what I was thinking! There's no way there's only one Cubone, so they must all look like that. Then again, the whole world of Pokémon doesn't make sense to me.

I feel his pain. I never get anyone to come to the parties in a small club in my town, called "My Pants".

He also might want a paleontologist not an archeologist.
I think part of the gag is that his wingman isn't very good.

Hate to be that guy but what Cubone would be looking for would be a Paleontologist rather than an Archeologist. :p

Hey, don't become an enabler for his bad habit! Cuddles will only sustain him for a short while, but after the cuddles he's heading right back to the bar. You have to get him to cope with the root of his problem, not block it out with booze and lovies.

Maybe a cuddle therapy?

Give him cuddles and then make him talk about his problem and give good reinforcement. If he goes back to the bar then no cuddles, but I would think the person giving cuddles would have to be really good at it otherwise it wouldn't work.

Aww, and here I was hoping this was a reference to an old point and click adventure game of the same name...

You just used my favorite pokemon in a comic. I will now forever love this comic no matter what from this day forward.

[buzzkill] It should have been a paleontologist, not an archeologist. [/buzzkill]

[Buzzkill-buzzkill] Well, actually, although all Palaeontologists have hands on experience with bones from organisms alive today they specialise in extinct creatures. What you need is a Zoologist... actually, no, you'd need a Pokemon Professor. [/Buzzkill-buzzkill]

Awwwww...poor Cubone....or is that a Marowak? I'm not a big enough Pokémon junkie to tell the difference. :p

I like these short, sweet, and to the point joke strips. No deeper message to worry about, really easy to get, just a set-up, a delivery, and a punchline. Nice and simple. :3
It's a Cubone! :D

Yellow Pokedex entry: Wears the skull of its deceased mother. Its cries echo inside the skull and come out as a sad melody.
