- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

No they didn't. Bones would be on the outside as they are the innermost body part.
exoskeleton with a thin layer of marrow on top?
Yup!
I could see such an abomination fitting right in with the aesthetics of Scorn.
Oh! If you like Scorn, look up Necrophosis. It's a masterpiece.
Is that really it though? Humans are topologically the same as a straw, so it would be more akin to maybe turning a sock inside out, or pulling your head through your digestive tract and out your ass.
It’d probably end up with your entire body enclosed in a big pink roundish sack, the outside being the mucous membranes that were previously the lumen of the digestive tract. It would probably break every bone in your body.
I suppose it depends on your definition of “innermost”. If we’re talking the deepest relative to skin, then it would be as above. If we’re saying “farthest from where atmosphere can reach without puncturing anything”, then yeah I guess it would be the skeleton. The anatomical definition is definitely the former, though.
I mean, I get where you're coming from. But if you're looking at this from a topological standpoint, I can only point you towards the Vsauce video:
In which case we're well within the realm of assumptions, because it really depends on perspective how many holes we have.
I prefer the bone interpretation, at least for limbs, because inside out doesn't necessarily imply the "action of turning inside out" is necessary. So we can just have the straw swap inner and outer positions. That's how I'd see it, meaning... Bone.

Muscle groups inside a distorted skeleton, with organs on the outside. The trickiest or most confusing things would be the boney sockets on the skull would bulge out (shielding the eye balls which would be completely encased by them)... Also the septum of the nose would be on the outside of the nose area of the skull... I guess the brain would be like a hat?
Nah you over think it. All that needs to be accomplished is for what's inside to become outside. A laxative would count under this very literal interpretation.
