A cartoon is a form of two-dimensional illustrated visual art. While the specific definition has changed over time, modern usage refers to a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for satire, caricature, or humor, or to the artistic style of such works. An artist who creates cartoons is called a cartoonist.
The concept originated in the Middle Ages and first described a preparatory drawing for a piece of art, such as a painting, fresco, tapestry, or stained glass window. In the 19th century, it came to refer to humorous illustrations in magazines and newspapers, and after the early 20th century, it referred to comic strips and animated films.
A cartoon (from Italian: cartone and Dutch: karton—words describing strong, heavy paper or pasteboard) is a full-size drawing made on sturdy paper as a study or modello for a painting, stained glass or tapestry. Cartoons were typically used in the production of frescoes, to accurately link the component parts of the composition when painted on damp plaster over a series of days (giornate).
A cartoon, is any of several forms of visual art, with varied meanings that developed from one to another.

Cartoons, also known as Cartoons DK, were a technobilly/glam pop band from Denmark, best known for their 1998 Eurodance cover of the 1958 novelty song, "Witch Doctor" by Ross Bagdasarian, as well as for their outlandish plastic costumes and wigs used in live performances as caricatures of 1950s American rock and roll stars. Many of their hits are Europop covers of old rockabilly hits.
The band has so far sold over 2 million albums, making them one of the most successful Danish pop bands ever. They have also been nominated for Danish Grammys according to their official website.
The sextet, who use the stage names Toonie, Sponge, Shooter, Buzz, Puddy, and Boop, were first signed to FLEX Records, moving later to EMI Denmark.
Their most notable single to date is "Witch Doctor", which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart; with its combination of the original's "ooh-ee-ooh-aah-aah" chorus (although lacking that record's double-speed playback of the chorus), driving dance beat and occasional guitar breaks.
Well she's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
You and me
Trying hard to build a family
You and me
Life is kind of phony
Holy matrimony
Dont you see
You and I were allways meant to be
I wont flee
All I wanna do is get down on my knees
Well she's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
Dont you see
You and I were allways meant to be
I wont flee
All I wanna do is get down on my knees
Well she's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
I saw her dance
I saw her smile
She crossed the floor
I reached for the door
She caught my eye
She made me cry
She tamed the sky
And made me fly
Well she's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
She's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
