The Skeletons of Cartoon Characters

February 5th 2008 09:01
The skeleton of Bugs Bunny
Hyungkoo Lee is a Korean artist that is shaking the web with his spectacular sculpture pieces... these pieces are perfect for the Internet population, mostly 30-year-old men with eternal childlike glee.


The picture above is of Bugs Bunny... well, his skeleton.

Incredible! Lee created fake skeletons for several of Walt Disney's and Warner Bros' most popular characters!

I can't get enough, though my favourite would have to be the skeletons of Donald Duck's three nephews:

Donald Duck's three nephews skeletons


Why stop here? I hope Lee continues on this project, giving us Foghorn Leghorn, Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck.

Then go on to GI Joe, Transformers and Ninja Turtles. We could have anatomical constructs of all our favourite characters... I don't know why this is important, but it seems like an archive of information that could prove useful for old men, looking back on their forgotten childhood.

Ahh yes, digging old skeletons out of the closet! Of course, some may want their bones to stay in the closet...

Mercifully mine fell out long ago!

Interesting art concept, and there is something there, in a sub-textual way, does make one ponder a bit...but what is it really saying?

Our childhood is dead, long gone? We have only ghostly memories which can neither nurture nor sustain us anymore?

Amy, cool isn't it?

Fog, I think you've hit it on the head... our cartoon memories may be fleshed out, but in terms of modern influence, Bugs and friends are merely spectres...

Trust MNG to come up with that!!

So maybe Cibby, you need to write to this dude and ask him what Casper's skeleton would look like?

I'd love to see that one...was a huge fan of the goody two shoes too...and Groovy Ghoulies....no...that does not compute...

cheers
