Donald Markstein has created a wonderful resource for those interested in cartoons and animation with Toonopedia™ – “the world’s first hypertext encyclopedia of toons”. For the purposes of the encyclopedia, he defines toons to be:
‘A toon is a cartoon or cartoon character — “cartoon” referring not just to the animated kind, but also to such “still cartoons” as comic books, newspaper strips, magazine cartoons, etc.’
Given that many comic book, newspaper, and magazine toons are later turned into animated works, the fact that “still cartoons” are included may not detract from the usefulness of this resource to visitors of Cartoon and Animation.
