Etymology

The word 'cartooning' originates from the Italian word 'cartone', which means 'large paper' or 'carton'. This term was historically used to refer to the preparatory drawings or sketches made by artists before creating final works in painting or frescoes. During the 19th century, the term evolved to describe humorous illustrations that appeared in magazines and newspapers, capturing social satire and political commentary. The rise of comics in the early 20th century further popularized cartooning as a distinct art form, leading to the creation of iconic characters and series that resonate with audiences worldwide. Today, cartooning spans various mediums, including digital art and animation, reflecting contemporary themes and issues while maintaining its humorous roots.
