Features: Modern cartoon art consists of three interdependent yet interconnected artistic systems: satirical cartoons, comic strips, and animated films. Satirical cartoons, also known as "cartoons" or "political cartoons," are the oldest and most socially influential type of cartoon. It is generally believed that this is a special form of artwork that emerged in modern times, featuring themes such as current events or real-life scenes, and is expressed through simple yet exaggerated techniques. These works often employ methods like distortion, analogy, and symbolism to create humorous and witty images, achieving the effects of satire or praise. In terms of length, they are typically single-panel works.
