What's the difference between caricatures and cartoons? --Årvasbåo (talk) 20:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Cartoons is a format of storytelling, such as film or novels, while caricatures is a subgenre of cartoons with the explicit purpose of looking like a famous person or object but with some features enlarged or decreased for comedic or political effect. Other subgenres of cartoons are superhero comics and comic strips.//Hannibal (talk) 09:06, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- If so, why does Category:Cartoons say "This category is only for drawings. See Category:Comic strips for drawings that tells a story, and Category:Animated films for animation movies." Are the pictures there wrongly categorized? --Årvasbåo (talk) 15:53, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- They are not categorized wrong, since Category:Animated films for animation movies and Category:Comic strips are subcategories to Cartoons, much in the way Category:Novels is a subcategory to Category:Fiction. Category:Text > Category:Cartoons > Category:Caricatures, is one example of how the taxonomy goes. Thanks for posting here.//Hannibal (talk) 17:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
