Caricatures, cartoons, sketches, illustrations, etc are fascinating. Who can imagine a newspaper without a comic section, an editorial page without a central cartoon, television without animated cartoons, the theater without lively cartoon comedies, magazines and trade publications without gag panels or advertising in its endless forms without cartoons?
