Morphology
The meaning is a straightforward combination of 'cartoon' (a drawing, often humorous) and 'strip' (a sequence of panels), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer 'cartoon strip' as a sequence of drawings that tell a story or joke. This noun+noun compounding is common in English and cross-linguistically (e.g. 'comic strip'), making the phrase immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Cartoon strip comes from the picture being a small cartoon printed in a narrow strip of the newspaper. So, imagine a thin band of drawings in boxes that tell a 'story' or make a 'joke', and that's why it means a short series of drawings that go together.
