I'm really grateful the girl skeleton has a bow, how else would I know their gender :p

If they showed the boob bones they'd have to mark it nsfw

Can't the artist who made the comic put a bow on a character ?

Bows are for hair and she ain't got none.

I'll let my dad know he can no longer use his bow tie, since he wears it on his neck and not hair.

And I'll let my niece know she has to remove the bows on the clothing her daughter has.

And I'll stop tying my shoelaces in a bow.

If they don't have hair they're not people sorry.

Heard it people, you’re forbidden to wear bows if you don’t have hair

If you ever give a bow to a cancer patient I will hunt you down.

Why do people suddenly have a problem with this sort of thing? Art has always used exaggerations and tropes to convey things to the viewer more effectively than being realistic would. Lasers don't actually make solid beams of light in the air, evil people don't generally have red eyes or maniacal laughs, and female skeletons don't really have eyelashes and bows. Hell, most women don't even wear bows anymore.

I don't problem, I just find it funny because it's so prevalent :3

She also has eyelashes

Omg... Did you just assume their gender? This is patriarchy manifest, you have no idea how much trouble you're in my guy

Who says there can't be a male skeleton wearing a bow named Stacey?
