Cartoon characters are, basically, exaggerations or mutations of the human body, so it stands to reason that their skeletons, if they had one, would look a lot different than ours. Okay, maybe you never thought of that, but if your artist Michael Paulus you not only think about it, but you actually draw what the skeletal system animated folk such as the Powerpuff Girls, Marvin the Martian, and Betty Boop might look like. This idea isn't entirely new. The late artists Jack Rickard drew very similar cartoon skeletons back in the early days of Mad Magazine. Nevertheless, it's both fun and creepy to gape at the grotesque insides of these usually adorable characters. I think the Powerpuff Girls may be the most disturbing. Those gigantic eye sockets make them look like something out of a Tim Burton movie.TV Squad Hot Topics
