Rex May | Re: [LFN] Cartoon/cartoonist

I'll lurch into English to clarify my points.

There does need to be a clear distinction between cartoonist and
animator, as has been pointed out and I think everybody agrees with.

The problem with caricaturiste is that there is a big distinction, in
English at least, between a caricature and a cartoon.  A caricature
is a distortion/exaggeration, and has meaning beyond that of a
drawing. A sculpture or live performance can be a caricature. In
short, it's not just a subset of 'cartoon,' but only an overlap.  Of
course, in like manner, a cartoon does not necessarily distort or
exaggerate, but is only a simplification.

As for the use of 'comica' in the expressions below, a great number
of cartoons aren't comic at all.  _Maus_ is an extreme example, but a
great many graphic novels, superheroes and the like, much of Will
Eisner, etc., aren't funny at all.

At any rate, I think there's room for cartone/cartonor, to deal with
a specific type of drawing.

And a question:  Why would you pick caricaturiste instead of
caricaturor?   The -or seems to be more in line with carnor, etc.
