How long do you macerate a Shmoo? Cartoon character skeletons. Two words: Frea. Ky. This has apparently been all over the Web in the past few days; I later came across it at BoingBoing and J-Walk, but my first encounter was via No Fancy Name: Skeletal SystemsThe Powerpuff GirlsBlossom, Bubbles, and Buttercupfare the worst, in my view; those giant, perfectly-smooth and perfectly-hemispherical eye sockets make them look like predatory insects. On the other hand, the small birdsTweety and Eggbertactually look a lot like real bird skeletons: big skulls and tiny bodies are normal proportions for most avian anatomy. My favorite thing is the Shmoo's vestigial arms; there's a whole evolutionary process implied there. The mind boggles. [ at 5:48 PM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
