Cartoon,jokes
A cartoon is a form of expression, or communication that refers to several forms of art,
including humorous captioned illustrations, satirical political drawings, and animated film.
Originally, the term referred to full-scale drawings for various forms of fine art, such as frescoes
and tapestries. From the mid-nineteenth century it acquired the meaning of a pictorial parody,
humorous and often satirical in its portrayal of social and political events.
Animated cartoons cater more to younger audiences, entertaining children with the
adventures of anthropomorphized animals, superheroes, and child protagonists. From fine art to
political commentary and entertainment, cartoons have played an important role in shaping the
world as we know it.
Through cartoons kids are able to learn new vocabularies hence improve their speech and
use of vocabularies in writing which is of great benefit in education
