What qualifies a character as a cartoon character?

A cartoon character should be as close to reality as it should be away from it. It should be living yet it should be artificial. It is not important that a cartoon character should portray something that has living characteristics.

Anything derived from the artistic imagination of man can be called a cartoon if it is animated, does stuff that is only done with the help of computer and cannot be done normally by humans. If the cartoon is any non living object its personification is very important. It should possess super natural talents one way or the other.

They all are created or animated and also they should include use of graphics. Cartoons should have a hilarious element and should have a new world created. A list of a few famous cartoon characters are as follows: Alvin Angelica Pickles Archie Arthur Astro Atom Ant Bamm-Bamm Barney Rubble Bart Simpson Batman Beetle Baily Betty Boop Blondie Boo Boo Boris Badenov Bugs Bunny Bullwinkle Calvin Captain America Cap'n Crunch Cartman Casper the Friendly Ghost Cat in the Hat Charlie Brown Charlie Tuna Chester Cheetah Chip and Dale Clifford the Big Red Dog Curious George Dagwood Daffy Duck Dennis the Menace Dick Tracy Dilbert Dino Donald Duck Dora the Explorer Droopy Dudley Dooright Eeyore Elmer Fudd Elroy Jetson Fat Albert Felix the Cat Flash Foghorn Leghorn Fred Flintstone Frosty Garfield George of the Jungle Goofy Grape Ape Green Giant Grimm Grinch Hagar the Horrible Heckle and Jeckle Kitty Hobbes Homer Simpson Huckleberry Hound Joe Camel Johnny Quest Josie and the Pussycats Jughead Lil' Abner Linus Lucy Magilla Gorilla Marmaduke Mickey Mouse Mighty Mouse Minnie Mouse Mr. Kool-Aid Mr. Magoo Muttley Nancy Natasha Fatale Olive Oyl Pebbles Pepe Le Pew Peter Pan Piglet Pink Panther Pluto Popeye Porky Pig Red Hot Ren and Stimpy Richie Rich Road Runner Rocky Roger Rabbit Sad Sack Scobby Doo Shaggy Sherman Smurfs Snap, Crackle and Pop Snidely Whiplash Snoopy Speed Buggy Speed Racer Spiderman SpongeBob SquarePants Squiddly Diddly Superman Sylvester The Professor Tigger Tom and Jerry Tom Terrific Tony Tiger Toucan Sam Tweety Bird Underdog Wile E.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
