104 characters and now our lesson in Arts 6 is about the types of cartoons.

105 TWEETY : Yes, Kitty. What a coincidence indeed! The problem is that, I have no

106 enough knowledge about the type of cartoons.

109 TWEETY : That is a good idea Kitty. Let’s go!

110 NARRATOR : And they hurriedly went to Teacher Dan to ask for more information.

111 TWEETY & KITTY: Good morning Teacher Dan!

113 KITTY : Yes, Teacher Dan! We have an assignment in Arts 6 which is about the

114 types of cartoons. We would like to ask for more information about it.

115 TEACHER DAN : Okay, that is very easy. Basically there are five types of cartoons. The first
116 one is a Gag cartoon. It is a single-panel cartoon usually including a

117 caption beneath a drawing. It is a combination of punch lines and

118 scenario intended to make readers laugh. In some cases, dialogue may

119 appear in speech balloons.

120 TWEETY : Now Gag cartoon is already clear to me Sir Dan.

121 TEACHER DAN : Now you know what editorial cartoon is. The second type of cartoon is a

122 comic strip cartoon. It is a series or sequence of little drawings in boxes

123 which may contain dialogue and tell an amusing story. It becomes familiar

124 and popular because people like to follow their favorite characters. Have

125 you seen one in newspapers or in comic books?

126 TWEETY : Yes Sir! It is the first part of the newspaper that I read because it is

127 interesting and funny as well. It is very entertaining.

128 TEACHER DAN : And the third type of cartoon is the animated cartoon. It is a motion

129 picture that is made from a series of drawings, computer graphics, or

130 photographs or inanimate objects such as puppets) and that stimulates

131 movement by slight progressive changes in each frame.

132 KITTY : Yes Teacher Dan, just Iike those in Disney Movies?

133 Teacher Dan : That is correct Kitty, also those shown on televisions.

134 The fourth type of cartoon is an editorial cartoon. It is a one-panel or

135 stand-alone comics in which the main intent is to present an opinion. It

136 uses biting wit, and subtle humor to drive a point. It takes sides and

137 provokes thinking on current politics and social issues. This type of

138 cartoon is usually found in newspapers, tabloids, magazines and on our

139 school paper.

140 KITTY : Yes, I’ve seen that in our school paper and in the newspaper as well.
141 TEACHER DAN : Yes! That is a very good example Kitty.

142 Now, we are down to the fifth type of cartoon which is the illustrative

143 cartoon. It portrays a specific idea in a direct and simple manner. It helps

144 in explaining stories, teaching aids or advertisement.
