Famous Cartoon Characters' Skeletal Systems

Monday August 7, 2006
The Funny Site of the Day -- Here's something you don't see every day, the funny bones of cartoon characters. Literally.

Artist Michael Paulus explains, comic "Icons are usually grotesquely distorted from the human form from which they derive. Being that they are so commonplace and accepted as existing I thought I would dissect them like science does to all living objects -- trying to come to an understanding as to their origins and true physiological make up. ... I decided to take a select few of these popular characters and render their skeletal systems as I imagine they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass."

The subjects of the structural autopsies include Hello Kitty, Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Betty Boop, The Powerpuff Girls, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus Van Pelt, Pigpen, Peppermint Patty, Tweety, Dexter, Little Lotta, Eggbert, Pikachu, Marvin the Martian, Shmoo, and Baby Huey. View their more than skin deep comic beauty in a fascinating and ludicrous picture gallery.
