Cartoon Skeleton Sketches

What would an archaeologist make of the remains of Marvin the Martian, Charlie Brown or Betty Boop? Artist Michael Paulus’ collection of cartoon skeleton sketches examines this intriguing issue.

His extensive series of cartoon skeletons identifies the forms that give these beloved animated icons their recognizable structure. Paulus stays true to each cartoon’s form, displaying his anatomical sketch next to the full-color version we’re familiar with from television.
