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?

It's the beauty of cartoons. Unreal situations. And although there are events which "normally" occur there is something called creativity.

Cartoons are meant to entertain and nothing else. Unless you have schizophrenia and all people you see are 2-d figures, then tell a doctor.
Since cartoons are art, they are only the artist's conception of the world. Therefore, with changing time lines, their concepts are swayed and changed by science and the continual development of life. In addition, the author/artist could freely change whatever they wanted regardless of the "Cartoon law of physics" to emphasize certain events.

You realize this is animation, right?
Also: You realize what animation is, right?

Duh, you are so silly. The answer is soooo obvious that I am not going to demean you by telling you.
