Artists who create cartoons, including comic strips, animated films, political satire drawings, and humorous illustrations.
Plural of 'cartoonist,' combining 'cartoon' (from Italian 'cartone') with the suffix '-ist' (one who practices or specializes). The profession emerged as a distinct career in the late 1800s with the rise of newspaper comics and satirical magazines.
Some of history's most important social commentary came from cartoonists—think of how they exposed factory conditions, civil rights issues, and government corruption through images that reached way more people than written articles ever could.
