10. Creative, but not original.

In the 60s, Mad Magazine's Jack Rickard (I think it was him) did a piece on cartoon characters and their skeletons, very similar to this. I remember seeing the Hulk, the King of Id, Charlie Brown (Gunn's Lucy Skeleton looks verbatim to the Mad design), Seargent Snorkel and Momma.

No link, but you'll find it in any Mad collection that satirizes the comics.

12. I think this is the natural consequence of being a good artist.

When you draw these characters their is a natural tendency to think about the nature of their anatomy.
