  • A Brief Hisory Of Cartooning
    In today's media, a cartoon is a piece of art, and usually humor is the "end game" . This usage dates from 1843 when England's Punch magazine applied the term to satirical drawings in its pages, The anchor illustrator was the legendary John Leech. The first of these parodied the preparatory cartoons for grand historical frescoes in the then-new Palace of Westminster. The original title for these drawings was Mr Punch's face is the letter Q and the new title "cartoon" was intended to be ironic, a reference to the pompous posturing of Westminster politicos.
