Talk:Cartoonist

First cartoonist

Historically, is there consensus that the first cartoonist (in terms of use of the word) was John Leech? --BozMotalk 11:21, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Comic strip in caption

Copy the image, blow it up, and you'll see that it's Mark Trail (though whether that's the strip's cartoonist, Ed Dodd, I cannot tell). Interestingly, this PD U.S.-government image comes from the US Fish and Wildlife Service; the character Mark Trail has appeared in a number of children's educational publications by that agency. — Tenebrae 20:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

external links...

Is the link to an "example of freelance cartoonist website" really adequate? Is not it just a sort of free advertisement, opening precedent to using wikipedia as if it was a telephonic list, i.e, adding things like "another freelance cartoonist website", "yet another", and links to pharmacies in medicine related articles, etc? I think that if the reader wants to look for a generic freelance cartoonist website or whatever, he can easily use an search engine, without needing a link to a specific site.--Extremophile 23:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• I removed it, and added a few more links, mainly to other national cartoonist societies, although also one or two resources for scholars too. Hiding Talk 13:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I think the link to StickDeath.com in the main article is an advertisement. But as am not sure I didn't mess with it. pudddiiinngg pooppp ... doushh bagg Kalhans 2nd april 2007

Merged Comic Strip Creator

There was a request for merging since December 2006, so I merged Comic Strip Creator into this page, adding about 2 paragraphs of information. --Jackson 01:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
