Where do you see Cartoons?
The short answer is everywhere. Cartoons are an integral part of the deluge of images that we see every day.
Get up in the morning, and your kids may be eating cartoon branded cereals. Walk along the street and you'll see cartoon advertising on billboards and buses; or you may spot an information sign that uses cartoon images to talk to everybody, including people who don't read or speak the local language.
Pop into a newsagent and buy a newspaper. The front page will have a pocket gag, the comment pages will be leavened by an editorial cartoon and your favourite cartoon strip will be somewhere towards the back.
While you're in there, buy a weekly magazine. It will have its complement of cartoons. Or why not treat the kids to a comic or two?
Arrive at work, and the first thing to pop up on your computer could be a graphic paperclip, offering advice. And if you've managed to turn off Clippy, you can bet that a good proportion of the Internet sites you visit will have some form of digital cartoon or animation to catch your attention.
Go shopping after work, and there will be more cartoon characters on the instruction sheets of the things you buy.
And when you get home again, the kids may be watching TV cartoons that are broken up by cartoon commercials. Or they may even be doing their homework with the help of cartoon illustrated books.
Cartoons get messages across quickly and simply. They illustrate, educate, advise and sell - and they make people laugh. We all like them and they do a great job. That's why they are everywhere.
