He’s just digging himself deeper

I was traveling again this weekend. That should be the last time I do that for a while! Luckily, my good friend had recently made me this topical guest comic I could use.
Hey, a lot of you were asking about Jim the gold skull. I know he’s adorable, but all the magic of the skulls is bound up with the Sunken Island and if they get taken too far away from it, it’ll fade. But if you’re worried about how lonely he’ll be otherwise, or how horrible it was for him to be stuck in a treasure chest for ages… the skulls only have a flicker of consciousness which activates when they have someone around to interact with. They are essentially golems imbibed with enough intelligence/consciousness to complete their task, i.e. to judge incoming pirate hopefuls.
PS: I named Jim after the main character in Treasure Island, for obvious reasons.
May your death be a swift one, Cyril.
Ah, well it still looked like the happiest skull ever.
It’s just not nice to throw blunt objects at sharks.
Corollary:
Sharks do not like mean people and will attack without mercy if you are not nice
Karma Shark knows all.
Nice try Cyril, but it’ll take a bit more to off Skarva than an empty booze bottle thrown from 20 feet away…
That’s gonna make one heck of an epitaph
“Here lies Cyril
Beaten to death with his own accordion by a sharkman
RIP”
And that is why we generally do not throw glass bottles.
