Do cartoon characters see each other in the art style or “realistically”? (lemmy.zip)

Just thinking, is the art style only symbolic of the universe or is everything actually like that in-universe?

Photorealistic: yes. However, it could be debatable whether it's gruesome. We see situations that characters survive with short term damage but no long term consequences (example: Homer skating into the canyon). So while it would be gruesome to us, it's probably closer to slapstick to them.

I never thought about its gruesomness this way.

It would be abhorrent for us to see photorealistic cat organs but I guess kids in The Simpsons' universe are raised differently.
