Cartoons and Comics


Shared Characteristics:

Caricature: art that exaggerates physical experience (the animus - one reason for anthropomorfization)

Speech (ballloons or bubbles appear more often in comics)

Written commentary or caption

Comics are “juxtaposed pictorial and other images in a deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or produce an aesthetic response in the viewer.” (Scott McCoud, Understanding Comics, 1994)

Images - Visual Conventions - Narrative - Popular Appeal


The Yellow Kid, 1897



Walt (Walter Elias) Disney: 1901-1966
