We usually don't think about the fact that cartoon characters can have entrails. But Michael Paulus was puzzled by this very question. The result of his thoughts was a series of images, in which the artist created skeletons of famous cartoon characters of the past.
The artist says that his childhood fell on the 60s of the last century - a time when almost all children's programs were animated. Preserving the memory of those times, already as an adult, the author decided to conduct a kind of study of beloved and familiar to all characters, whose bodies are drawn from human forms, but at the same time fancifully deformed.
Well, from an anatomical point of view, cartoon characters are actually interesting. "Could anyone have half-head-sized eye sockets, hands without fingers, or legs that make up 60% of their total body weight?" - Michael Paulus asks us. If so, then admire their skeletons - the way the artist imagines them.
Michael says that cartoon characters have long been included in our daily life and have already become part of the culture. Therefore, there is nothing strange in the desire to study them from a scientific point of view - in the same way as scientists study real-life organisms. The artist hopes that his research will help us better understand the characters drawn and see them in a new light.
Although the author speaks of his work as a kind of scientific research, it is unlikely that scientists will show interest in his drawings. But cartoon lovers will be able to laugh when they see familiar characters in such an unusual perspective. In total, the series includes 25 images, which can be seen on the website of Michael Paulus.

Collection of skeletons of animals and birds from wood "Fragile Skeletons"
Studying the anatomy of animals and birds is a useful business, especially if the subjects themselves do not suffer. Italian artist Giovanni Longo decided to make life easier for biologists by creating a collection of skeletons of animals and birds from wood. Moreover, the exhibits look as if they were recently dug up by archaeologists. The artist tries to age the wood as much as possible, giving it the texture of real bones with cracks and scratches from the shovels of scientists
