Etymology
Cartoon meaning a humorous or satirical drawing comes from the Italian cartone 'large paper' and carta 'paper', because artists made bold drawings on large sheets. In the 1800s newspapers began to call these bold or funny drawings 'cartoons', so today a cartoon is a drawing that makes a joke or a point.
