join-the-dots

I have a huge backlog of things to blog about—so many that I can’t remember where I originally found most of them. One of these is Michael Paulus’s Skeletal Systems: A character study of 22 present and past cartoon characters.

Animation was the format of choice for children’s television in the 1960s, a decade in which children’s programming became almost entirely animated. Growing up in that period, I tended to take for granted the distortions and strange bodies of these entities.

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.

It’s a great collection, albeit quite a disturbing one.
