    [synopsis] => Funny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras-skeletons performing  various everyday or festive activities-came to be. They are the creation of  Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852-1913). In a country that was  not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the  amusement of the local population but not the politicians. He continued to draw  cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his  calavera drawings. They have become synonymous with Mexico's Dia de los Muertos  (Day of the Dead) festival. Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe's, author  Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art  is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity.
