This document discusses cartoons and comics. It explains that cartoons are drawings that tell a story, and they appear in newspapers to inform readers or be funny. Comic strips are also in newspapers, with each day featuring a new funny story through drawings of characters whose words appear in speech bubbles. Animated cartoons shown on television feature many drawn pictures put together on film to make the characters seem like they are moving. Cartoons have been drawn for hundreds of years initially to attract more newspaper readers. A person who draws cartoons is called a cartoonist, and they use lines to show character movement and facial expressions to convey feelings.
