Cartoons are often funny, but not always. There are different types of cartoons. A gag cartoon is one drawing. A comic book is a collection of comic strips. Story boards show commercials and other things in a series of scenes.
Cartoonists often specialize in the things they draw.
Some things that cartoonists draw about are politics and sports. They also draw social and advertising cartoons. Cartoons show the way the average person lives and thinks. They are a valuable way to record what is going on in the world. Although very few people are able to make a living selling cartoons to magazines and newspapers, those who do have power over what people all across the country think about different things.
