cartoon

Description

A cartoon is a moving doodle conceived to mock the ennui of reality. It fuses childhood whimsy with adult escapism into a frivolous falsehood. Behind each thin outline lurks a cocktail of someone’s stress and someone else’s amusement. It is a lavish pressure valve filled with the colorful anguish of humanity. Adorned with an innocent facade, it sets comedic traps that yield fleeting laughter and enduring indifference, a peculiar cultural narcotic.
