As I see it, cartooning and animating are different things entirely. Cartooning is a set of principal in design and gesture that emphasizes exaggeration, silhouette squashing and stretching.

They all very much have distinct personalities, despite when I said they seemed all the same body build before. Did they have to all have lab coats too?
It must have been fun to let loose with cartooning, but I have some issues with the way you did some things. Cartoons exaggerate and stretch people's body and proportions in ways that we fund funny and in some primal way make sense. For the blue scientist, while he is great, I can only assume you made his arms the way they are for fun, cause I sure as hell don't know how his bone structure or what exactly you are exaggerating for his arms. I think it's the right more than the left that is messing with me.
What I'm saying is that you should stick with your natural cartooning style, but you have to know anatomy if you want to mess with it. Otherwise I don't think it's as good of a cartoon as it could be. Many people just use style as an excuse to cover lack of skill.
In the context of knowing that this was a fashion exercise focused on outfits and personality, as well as that these are the strongest out of 30 designs, this is a very good exercise. I know for fashion you don't need to push the cartooning boundaries, but I would like to see that in other pieces.
All in all I like the red scientist the best. He's going on an adventure with that scarf.
13's (blue) arm was an error of carelessness and the drawing probably would be more effective if his upper arm was bent in a little more so that the bone could actually align with the socket.
My favorite is 12 (green/brown) because he's so absorbed in his work that his own disintergration does not bother him.

On the FYI, I have a low bullshit tolerance.
