An Unearthed Skeleton and a Hungry Dog Begin an Unlikely Friendship

Yorick wakes after centuries underground speaking in old-fashioned, theatrical language, while Bones—the dog responsible for digging him up—communicates through an enthusiasm for chewing. Their contrasting ways of moving through the world shape this full-color graphic novel’s central partnership. Yorick is searching for a friend, and Bones is searching for something edible that will not protest, giving the book two intersecting quests and an immediate source of comic misunderstanding. The opening volume introduces their odd-couple bond through visual storytelling, dialogue, and the complications of becoming companions when one party is a skeleton and the other likes bones.

ye, hear ye! Father-daughter duo Jeremy and Hermione Tankard are pleased to
introduce the first book in a rib-tickling, heartfelt full-color graphic novel
series perfect for fans of Bird & Squirrel!

Yorick is a
skeleton who was just dug up after a few hundred years of sleep. He speaks like
it too. "Forsooth, my joy, I barely can contain!"

Bones is the
hungry dog who did the digging. Though he cannot speak, he can chomp.

he seeks? Will Bones ever find a tasty treat that does not talk back?

The
course of true friendship never did run smooth.
