Frank Boyden’s Uncle Skulky series is equal parts humor, rumination and commentary. I enjoy this piece for the way traditional, angelic gold beams are paired with a deranged skeleton. It’s nearly impossible for me to name just one Uncle Skulky as my favorite, but this one is perhaps the most uplifting.
