TOP 10 Skeletons

Hello! It's time again! Time for TOP 10 again! This time (because of all the pages these types of things generate in the site), we will be doing it all in the same entry and will just keep updating every day until we reach the end.

As sugested by someone on Tumblr (and the idea being supported by a few other followers), we decided to do the TOP on Skeletons. We had a lot of trouble remembering a few of these, but by the time we finished the list of possible characters, we ended up with too many! We're going to start now!




10th Place is a character that will take some of you down memory lane. It certainly did with us! From The Grim and Evil Show and later on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, we have one of Cartoon Network's most beloved characters ever: Grim (a.k.a. The Grim Reaper)


9th Place of the top! This character is a little less popular then our last "contestant", if we can call it that? Her name is Skelita Calaveras, from Monster High! A lot of you might not like the cartoon, but you have to admit the dolls and the characters' designs are amazing! This one is by far our favourite one! 


8th Place brings another recent character that has become super popular since it's debut. He's bad, he's mean, and he's absolutely cool! Say hello to Xibalba, from the movie The Book of Life. That movie was a complete masterpiece, we adore it to bits... And this guy is one of our favourite characters


7th Place, and we're going back to a less popular "character" if we can call it that. This little dude here is a skeleton-shaped doll called Spooky, from Jhonen Vasquez's comics I Feel Sick. We know, it's just a doll and not an actual skeleton! But it's one of our favourite characters/props ever, so we felt like we should have it on the list!

6th Place on our list is another lesser known character. This Magic Fairy takes a stand in Roman Dirge's Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl. More specifically, from one of his filler sections. This dude loves to fill up some of the pages with illustrated dark poetry or spin-offs of nursery rhymes; and that's the case of this character, being the villain in The Crooked Man.

That is all for now, guys, we will keep updating this same file, so please stay tuned for more uploads every day during ten days!

Andy^2 #9


Hey guys! We're back from our hiatus to bring you the newest page of Andy^2! We apologize for the sudden stop in activity and the extension on the date, we promise we will make it up to you, and here's how: we finally managed to finish the research for our Top10 on Skeletons! We investigated a lot because there were some characters that we had forgotten (and we got a memory refreshment by someone on Tumblr, too, so thank you very much!), but we're finally in drawing stage and will be posting the results next week (starting on Monday, so that means January 25th).

About this particular strip: when you have opposite gender cousins or siblings and spend a lot of time with them doing what they want (specially if they are younger than you), they tend to forget that you're not actually the same gender! This has happened a lot in some of our families, so we wanted to share some of our awkward family moments with you via Andy^2! Have a nice week, everyone!

January Updates

Happy New Years, everyone! We're very excited to recieve this amazing and promising 2016 here on Sugarskull! Now, promises become debts... And as promised, here are the updates for this month!

First of all, we are very very sorry, but because of some happenings that are out of our control, the hiatus will be extended until January 18th, 2016. We don't like the idea of postponing this again, but because we don't want to do a half-hearted job and have irregular upload schedules, we need to take this break until things are stable enough so we can continue without interruption or weird upcomes. BUT! Once we come back from our break, we will be 100% ready for action and with new ideas coming.

Another thing that you might be excited to hear is the fact that The Ultimate Star Creators is already being worked on! :) We already have the storyline remastered and in sketching process. We still don't know when it's gonna be up and ready but we might show you some of our progress in our social media. Stay tuned if you're interested.

We are working on a TOP 10 currently. As suggested by somebody on Tumblr, we are making it about Skeletons in animation or comics. We have been working on this for a while and doing some research (because apparently nobody in the team can remember a lot of skeletons), so we would appreciate it if you sent some suggestions of your favourite cartoon or comic skeletons and we'll take them in consideration!

About the Supernova! strips we mentioned on our December Updates, we are currently trying to figure out the way we're gonna make them, because we have different ideas on the thing. We will be working on it and showing you what we do, maybe asking for your opinions on different things. The oringinal style will remain for this one, but once we start working with Noire, things will be a little bit different. We will wait and see how things turn out with the original one before we actually say or do anything about Noire in Sugarskull.

We're also thinking of making a new type of strip (that we've had in mind of a while, but we haven't talked about it) called Skulls Made of Sugar. We don't really know how well that will work, so we want to make sure we have full grasp on our other projects before we go into a completely new one!

So, in conclusion... This is what you guys will be seeing this January:
  • An extension to our current hiatus (We will be back on January 18th, 2016)
  • Sneak peeks to the development of The Ultimate Star Creators.
  • Us, asking a bunch of things on social media, specially regarding our TOP 10 on skeletons and opinions on stuff we might do for Supernova!
  • Maybe a couple things about Skulls Made of Sugar, we're not sure yet!
Happy 2016, everyone! May this be a wonderful year for you all!
