The first cartoons<\/strong>, in the sense of humorous or satirical drawings, appeared in the magazine Punch in 1843, however the word was used from the 1670s to mean “a drawing on strong paper (used as a model for another work)”.<\/p>\n Cartoon can also mean:<\/p>\n – An artist’s preliminary sketch. Cartoon comes from French carton<\/em> (cardboard, carton, cardboard box, target, sketch; cartoon, inset map, card), from the Italian cartone<\/em> (cardboard, paperboard, a carton, a box, a cartoon (an artist’s preliminary sketch or an animated cartoon)), from the Latin <\/em>charta<\/em> (paper, map, menu), from the Ancient Greek \u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2<\/em> \u200e(kh\u00e1rt\u0113s – papyrus, paper), from \u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03c3\u03c3\u03c9<\/em> \u200e(khar\u00e1ss\u014d – I scratch, inscribe), from the Proto-Indo-European *\u01f5\u02b0er-<\/em> \u200e(to scratch).<\/p>\n A series of cartoons is known as a comic strip or strip cartoon, and the section of a newspaper containing cartoons and comic strips is apparently known as the funnies, the funny papers or the funny papers, at least in some English-speaking countries – I wouldn’t use these words, and might call it the cartoon section. How about you?<\/p>\n Comic<\/strong> comes from Latin comicus<\/em> (comic, comedy, comedian), from the Ancient Greek \u03ba\u03c9\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2<\/em> \u200e(k\u014dmik\u00f3s – relating to comedy), from \u03ba\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2<\/em> \u200e(k\u00f4mos – carousal).<\/p>\n Sources: Online Etymology Dictionary<\/a> and Wiktionary<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The first cartoons, in the sense of humorous or satirical drawings, appeared in the magazine Punch in 1843, however the word was used from the 1670s to mean “a drawing on strong paper (used as a model for another work)”.
