If you enjoy skeletons and terrible puns, this comic will meet your needs for today. (SLTumblr, via Reddit)
An important cautionary tale.

As bad as the puns are, I did not find a single use of the word "boner". I approve.

"Count Duckula"? Oh man, Count Duckula was actually a pretty great cartoon from the Cosgrove Hall studio (who also made Danger Mouse — "Penfold?" "Yes, DM?" "Shush." — and Victor and Hugo — "What is it that it is that is the matter with you?!" — all of which I loved as a kid) and had one of the silliest ending credits I've seen yet. Apparently many (all?) of the episodes are on YouTube now! Here's the first one. I must now rewatch all of them straight through. Thanks, corny Tumblr comic!

I don't see a flag for "please turn narain's comment into a FPP".

Just to add to the Cosgrove Hall derail, David Jason did a tribute to the studio which was on Radio 4 yesterday. (Further fodder for a FFP - hint ;))
I love the skeleton cartoons and I know osteologists who will live them too.

Can't figure out if this is a typo or clever in-joke.

These skeleton cartoons are allright, but they need to be fleshed out a bit.

Yesss! I'm going to send one of these to my pun-loving nurse brother every day! (Unless I crack, send him the whole list and call him to act them out loud together, oh my goodness, yes, that is my plan for today!)

Some might say that they've got no heart, and that you can see right through them; but I prefer to think that when you remove all the fat and rotten bits, you're left with something that will last a very long time.

Without these jokes, skeletons on Halloween would be too sternum.

To the extent skeletons have any body language, this artist gets it perfectly. The sardonic glares and barely-stifled glee of the joking bones are sublime.
