In the example of the animated series "Animaniacs," there is a futuristic episode when Buttons and Mindy live in outer space. When Buttons runs out to space to save Mindy, he becomes accidentally exposed to the vacuum of space and has an explosive decompression animation before running back into the pressurized home. Yet, in the same continuity, there was an episode where Pinky and the Brain get blown off to outer space, yet do not suffer from the drop of atmospheric pressure. Is there an explanation as to why certain cartoon characters can harmlessly pass through different pressure levels while others cannot? I've looked through the Cartoon Laws of Physics, which describes the universal physical events that happen in most cartoons, but I found nothing consistent regarding outer space. Can the cartoon vacuum of space adjust its own atmospheric pressure?
