Alright, I can’t stand it anymore.
Could we please stop calling them “cartoons” and call them the proper noun - comic, funny, whatever.
A cartoon is a film.
Off my soapbox.
If you are going to rant, you need to get your facts straight first. ‘Cartoon’ has been used for political drawing for many decades, long before ‘cartoon films’ were ever invented.
Consider the word cartoonist. A person who draws cartoons.
They were called “cartoons” when they appeared in the newspapers, originally, and the word “cartoon” itself refers to the heavy paper (from “carton”) that the first of such types were drawn on (for “modello” production) before newspapers were widespread.
The film versions are called “animated cartoons”.
