Skeletons, vampires, Spider-Man, Man Sandwich, and many more interesting characters can be seen in the comics by Andy, called Skeleton Claw.

Andy's creativity ranges from silly to dark jokes, and you never know what you will get next. Previously, the artist shared that his creativity process starts with stray thoughts wandering around his head, and later, they might become comics. However, in a recent interview, Andy shared that he had ”a powerful case of writer's block.” The artist explained what might have been the cause: “I think the Covid era did some damage to my creativity, and I’m seeing how I might get it back. If you have any ideas, let me know.”

In an interview with Bored Panda, Andy shared the meaning behind the name of his comic "Skeleton Claw" and how he came up with it.

“Skeleton Claw is actually the name I used in one of my very first comics. It featured a character in a Mortal Kombat-style game who had one skeletal arm. I liked the name. It felt somehow menacing but also silly. If you look hard you can find the comic it came from out there on the internet.”

There's an old jazz song which goes 'it ain't no sin, to take off your skin, and dance around in your bones' . . .

Due to very unique, dark humor, we were curious about what genre of movies the artist enjoyed the most and if his taste was reflected in his comics.

“My favorite genre is dystopian sci-fi, like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. It doesn’t feature overtly but sometimes there are subtle nods. Maybe I should try to be more overtly dystopian,” shared Andy.

Andy also shared what is the main takeaway he expects for his audience, and it's joy. Andy added: “Enjoy life. We’ve got one chance on this spinning rock, let’s make the most of it.”

Better suited for lifeguard duties. Or maritime drugg (sic) seizures.

Dog people propaganda, spreading fear and lies about us cat people. You will have nothing to fear from the great cat people revolution. There will be plenty of boxes and catnip for all.

The dog people bit is extremely inaccurate if you have a 7 year old Shih Tzu who was ruined by a 5000+ mile move by car from Oklahoma to Anchorage, Alaska

My 16 yo stepkid listens to Nirvana, too. Besides some contemporary stuff of course. And it wears many of my old bandshirts because of the style. At least I make sure that they know basics about the bands like "Front 242 is a band from Belgium who are known to be one of the first EBM bands and even coined the genre name EBM" or "Mayhem is a norwegian Black Metal Band...". There are still too many musical gatekeepers out there and I want the kid to at least know a bit about the bands they are wearing shirts of. :D

This reminds me of some book that either I read or my elementary art teacher read to the class. It was about this girl who couldn’t figure out what to draw and her art teacher told her to just draw a dot. The teacher then hung it up on the art wall. The rest of the book is about the girl’s artistic journey drawing only circles
