The bloody truth behind our cartoon favorites

I have to work today, and I will be listening to THE KLF as I drive to my assignment.
If the BILL DRUMMOND and JIMMY CAUTY hit-making collaboration often seemed like a danceable art project, it is probably because KLF guitarist Cauty is a renowned artist.
On Oct. 10, Cauty and his son open an exhibit at the AQUARIUM L-13 gallery in Farringdon Road, London, titled "SPLATTER."
Cauty makes us think about the levels of violence in children's cartoons by hijacking the characters and taking their violent acts to their gory, more logical conclusions.
Instead of gunfire followed by a gunpowder-dusted Daffy Duck wondering why his bill is turned sideways, Cauty shows Daffy's blood cascading from gaping wounds.
"It is incredibly bloodthirsty," Cauty told a British reporter this week. "The real consequences of cartoon violence are revealed. They get massacred by each other. They blow their heads off with guns."
I particularly like Cauty's image of Sylvester the Cat, once he has finally gotten ahold of Tweety bird. Instead of Tweety prying open Sylvester's mouth and only losing a few feathers, we see the remains of a meal that has been long anticipated -- at least by Sylvester.
