Essays on Cartoons

The reality is not an abstraction of idea or ideologies. It is a concrete faculty of thinking from the interactions of people with each other and the environment. Simple representation lacks the details that would make the symbols used to be the reality. Jasinski (484) quoting Mitchell (11) stated that people are “representational animal” in that they create and manipulate signs i.e. things that “stand for” or take the place of other things. In this case, the use of simple representations would have to be of something that one can identify readily. However, in this instance of over-simplification, the ...

Question 1

The Doonesbury cartoon presented in the question contains the quintessential arguments both for and against social justice. The NAACP representative in the cartoon—really a representative of all minority groups that fight for social justice—is acting by calling in doomsday propositions based on the current events in society. This is a parody that many people in the majority have about minority cultures—that because really terrible forms of discrimination were in the past and are no longer practiced, modern society does not need to recognize that there are still forms of discrimination practiced every day.

There is generally a sense ...

In today’s fast-paced, technological world, texting has changed the way we communicate in a very fundamental way. To that end, many are worried about what the effect will be on those who choose to communicate primarily through texting – some worry that we are losing the nuance and complexity of real communication as a result of the need to truncate our words and phrasing into short bursts of instant information. Others, however, believe that texting has actually been a boon to teenagers and adolescents, who are typing and writing more than they ever have ...

Animation is not truthful; in fact it can be summed up as a deceptive way of entertaining people. This is so because it is generally a rapid sequence of purely still images put together in order to give an illusion of movement. It is a human creation that can even be seen as a trick that eyes play on an individual but gets some form of interpretation in the human mind. It is important to understand it from this perspective otherwise comparing and contrasting American animation and Japanese animation also known as anime will not make sense at all. Both of them are ...

In January 2015, two armed terrorists attacked the office of a popular French weekly magazine named “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris, France. Twelve people, including the chief editor at the time, were shot by assault rifles. Two weeks later, an Islamic terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda based in Yemen, took responsibility for the attack which, along with an attack that took place in 2011, were acts of revenge for the public dissemination of a satirical cartoon that targeted Muslims and poked fun at the prophet Muhammad.

Abstract

In this paper, I will discuss how cartoon violence affects behavioral patterns in childhood. Several researchers have confirmed that visual media can affect the behavioral development in children because they learn social norms by following examples from social agents. Cartoons are a part of the visual media industry, and that is one of the major social agents that shape perspectives, rules, and norms in society. However, data analysis indicates that cartoons for children are frequently disguised as fantasy stories, but they promote more violence than programs focused on older audiences. Chronic exposure to violence through cartoons implicates normal psychological development ...

Political cartoons are out to send a message and this one featuring Barack Obama is no exception. It features the President in a rather pensive and worried mode focusing on the one issue which everyone seems to talk about these days and that’s the economy. The cartoon is a rather simple one but it includes several messages. It plays upon one of Obama’s main themes which is hope and that is embalzoned in big letters at the bottom of the cartoon but then sarcastically, the cartoonist adds the words, ‘Some terms and conditions apply’ in smaller print. Obama is ...

History

Apparently, the 1920s gestured a melodramatic break between the historical and forthcoming America. Sensationally, it is referred as the Roaring Twenties. Why? Before WWI and the American civil, Americans were psychologically and customarily deep-rooted in the 19th century culture. It was a high time for people to transform and usher in a fresh era. Most vivid brands of that time are movie palaces, advanced automobiles, flappers and speakeasies dance halls. These fluctuations are accredited to the new wide-ranging awakening that was sweeping across the whole world predominantly due to growing literacies and the actual lessons learnt from WWI. This paper will critically ...

The multiplane camera is an animation that was created by Walt Disney in the 1930s and the 1940s. Essentially, studios used this animation to create pictures. Because of his animation art, the U.S. patent granted Walt Disney a patent. In traditional animation, drawing took a front stage and was considered as an important aspect. The multiplane cameras employed the traditional process of animation. Essentially, artwork pieces are moved past the camera. This movement is done on different speeds. They are also moved at some distances from each other (Andrews et al, 34). The effect of this is the creation of ...

Dr. Seuss emerged as a staunch opponent of isolationism in America in the late 1930s as well as early 1940s. He saw inaction in United Sates to German as well as Japanese expansion as appeasement and cowardice. While the world was in a war, America had isolated itself and just sat to look the other countries fight. Dr. Seuss felt the weakness and thought that Americans were leaving their victims exposed to Japanese and Nazi brutality. Again, just before the Pearl Harbor attack, Seuss used to depict isolationists together with appeasers as lazy, cowardly and unintelligent.

Guerilla marketing is a strategy used in advertising that yields maximum results by using unconventional tactics in marketing that centralizes on low costs.

It has become part of the modern culture to ask children what they want to be when they grow up. Others say they want to be police officers, doctors, mail carriers, or even bus drivers.

While most kids end up doing very different things with their lives, others follow the direction of their childhood dreams. The cartoon’s artist explores the children’s ...

Scott McCloud book, Understanding comics: The Invisible Art uses symbols and concepts like human reflection. Often, artists recognize these concepts, blend this creation of symbols, simple or distinct, to invoke different feelings and reactions within the readers and to deliver certain messages and emotion to the audience. McCloud makes the reader an active partaker within the comics and to create own realism based on own visions and ideas. Arguably, when taking the images, symbols, icons, and drawings and putting them in a picture, language and reality, differentiating them from abstract, the realism, and considering all icons/images that fall between, one ...

I agree with Johnson on the argument that watching television makes someone smarter. I agree with Johnson that people’s intelligence has improved by watching complex themes in the television. People today are better positioned than those of the ancient time are. Some of the current television shows are nutritional since they teach people to pay attention and make inferences as they interact with other people in the society. I disagree with the author’s comment that political events such as torture and racial profiling amount to social relationships. I disagree with the author’s claim that television ...

Our world is full of technology. No matter where we are we are surrounded by televisions, computers, smartphones, and radios. On all of these devices are advertisements for anything from skincare products to health insurance. Many of these advertisements are bright, colorful and aimed directly at children. Children are an easy target and one branch of marketing seems to understand this better than others: the food industry. Food industries such as Kellogg’s and General Mills have been using funny and colorful cartoon character to attract children to their cereal for decades. Perhaps none of these characters are ...

For my narrative reflection and journey into a visual experience I chose to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It exhibited many pieces I was able to connect to McCloud’s theories about closure and visual literacy (6). Certain pieces stood out more than others, inanimately, but somehow speaking to me. Collections spoke, punctuated, and ended themselves as comics do with direction, icons, and framework. McCloud’s philosophy on our sense of self in relation to what we see around us was also very present during my excursion (10). I saw myself differently depending on what exhibit I ...

Typically when we think of comics we think of children. Their excitement mounts as superheroes defeat villains or save damsels in distress. Comic books are one dimensional and transparent with little to offer the adult world other than nostalgia. Or is there something more to them? It would be difficult for the average person to open a comic book and understand that there are a multitude of communication devices at work on the vibrant pages of Batman or X-Men. It would be equally difficult to ponder of comic books were actually more relatable because they were drawn as cartoons, than if ...

In her multilayered multidimensional animation film "Sita Sings The Blues" , Nina Paley attempts to retell an old Hindu epic the Ramayana.

Inspired by Annette Hanshaw’s songs, her travel to India followed by tragic breakup with ex-husband, Nina decided to put it together and tell "her Ramayana". Short colorful cartoons uploaded to Internet were highly appraised by general public but got criticism from conservative Hindus due to sometimes frivolous Americanized images of Sita that bared striking resemblance with Betty Boop; and comic depiction of the story ( ...

Abstract

Animation in simple words means to give life, and the job of an animator is precisely that, to give life to static image or objects. Computer animation has traveled a long way, and today, the computer animation artists enjoy complete freedom to draw, model and animate objects in those infinite digital landscapes. The purpose of the essay is to look at the history of animation, and how it all started with simple drawings. The increasing sophistication and the realism of 3-D animation only reflect the never-ending possibilities of computer technology and the exponential processing power of a computer. With the ...

What with the advent of CGI and other forms of computer animation, it is now almost impossible to tell what is real and what is computerized in movies. Taking a look back at movies made in earlier times can sometimes leave those films open to ridicule, unless one takes the time to consider the technology that was available when those movies were made. One example would be the original version of Clash of the Titans. From a modern point of view, the doddering movements of the Kraken and other creatures, as well as the wavering flight of the enchanted owl, look ...

The scope of yellow journalism can be traced to the late 19th century, whereby it was utilized as one of the primary factors that supported the United States and Spain to triumph over Cuba and its ally; the Philippines. In fact, it is through the use of yellow journalism that the United States managed to acquire oversea territories across various realms during the late 19th century. While much has been hypothesized regarding yellow journalism, it is of the essence to note that it mainly connotes to a style of newspaper reporting that does not focus on facts, but over-emphasizes on ...

Visual Argument

As the Oxford Dictionary defines it, friendship is a relationship between two people who share a bond of mutual affection. People have different motivations why they engage in friendship but the image presented in this paper leans towards the claim that the primary drive of men in involving themselves in a cross-sex friendship is to have either romantic, or in the case of the cartoon above, sexual relationship with women. In fact, evolutionary psychologists believe that cross-sex friendship was developed as a form of “sexual strategy.” Since friendship between heterosexual men and women somehow requires proximity to develop, sexual tension becomes so apparent ...

The invention of animation and progress of the film industry allowed the creation of the animated films, and Walt Disney became its central figure. He changed the original fairy tales not only to suit and reflect the social life of America, but also to reflect his own identity and beliefs. The themes of the fairy tales were Americanized and reflected the society of individualism and patriarchy. For example, his cartoon Puss in the Boots changed the main character of the story: now it was a young man, instead of the Puss. The setting of the story was in the modern ...

Cartoons seem innocent in their attempt to make children laugh. In many cases they also seek to teach a lesson. The lesson can be something as simple as the importance of sharing or being honest. It can also teach something serious like looking both ways before crossing the street. The less obvious lessons are more subtle and often more lasting in the psyche of the juvenile audience. It happens more often when the cartoons characters are human beings instead of animals or puppets. Human cartoon characters cause children of all ages to absorb significant details about race, gender and culture. ...
