Jim Borgman has drawn another cartoon about the Bodies the Exhibition.
It's one of Borgman's weaker cartoons. There's much more potential humor and insight than "it's kind of creepy". One of the characters does carry a paper that says "Plastinated Bodies: were they executed prisoners?"

The Bodies Exhibition raises it ugly head again - Peter Bronson in his perceptive column today 6/17/08 in the Cincinnati Enquirer compares visits to the cadaver show as going on "family picnics to public beheadings." After viewing Bodies, I beg to differ - it seems to me like going to see a public "hanging, drawing and quartering." Beheading is too mild a procedure. Did the dead displayed there actually give their consent to all the slicing, dicing and skinning? Before they died, did they know they will end up cut up and plastinated like that?
