A Lesson in Cartoons and Comics

`cooley:iconcooley: reports, February 5, 2008
:postit: This week, ^misskittyoooo and I "traded" galleries.
As many of you know, I am the anthro gallery director and ^misskittyoooo is the gallery director for the Comics and Cartoons gallery. If you would like to see what she wrote about the anthro gallery, click here.


:postit: Pages in the cartoons and comics gallery.
:bulletblue: A common error in this gallery is confusing "pages" with "strips."
:bulletblue: A "page" is simply a whole page from a comic book.
:bulletblue: Here's an example from ^misskittyoooo's gallery:



:postit: Strips in the cartoons and comics gallery.
:bulletblue: "Strips" are what we see in the newspaper when we read the funnies.
:bulletblue: A "strip" is a set of sequential images that usually tell a stand-alone story but are often part of a larger one too.
:bulletblue: Here's an example from ^cooley's gallery:



:postit: Strips can be one image too!
:bulletblue: "Strips" can also contain only one image.
:bulletblue: Even if there isn't an associated sequence, one picture can tell a story too.
:bulletblue: Here's another example form ^cooley's gallery:



:postit: The cartoons of the cartoons and comics gallery.
:bulletblue: "Cartoons" are quite similar to strips: "A drawing depicting a humorous situation" (Dictionary.com).
:bulletblue: Often, "cartoons" exaggerate or provide a caricaturization of a character or scene.
:bulletblue: DeviantART defines cartoons as images conforming to the above definition, without the use of captions.
:bulletblue: Here's an example from ^misskittyoooo's gallery:



:postit: Useful links for the comics and cartoons gallery:
:bulletblue: New Comics/Cartoon Forum
:bulletblue: Cartoons and Comics Chat
:bulletblue: Cartoons and Comics Mini-Newsletter
:bulletblue: Lastest Community Features
:bulletblue: Latest Comics/Cartoons Resources
:bulletblue: Pages versus Strips


:postit: Fun stamps for the comics and cartoons gallery:

Nice job =D
I know comics and cartoons are deceptively complicated when you have to define them, but you did an awesome job.

I've got anthro comics. Where do I belong?

Always looking for more talented anthro artists!
:iconcooley:
Thanks for your help :) I like cartoons and comics, I should have taken time to understand them long before now.

The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.
:icontenko72:
I can probably help with this. If it's sequential art, most definitely Comics. If it's just profile art or something like that, then Anthro. If it's not one of those two, then I'd leave it to your own discretion. Make good use of your, uh, artistic license.
