Cartoon Studies

Cartoon Studies is an academic field that examines the art and history of cartoons, comics, and graphic storytelling. It explores how these mediums communicate ideas, emotions, and social commentary through visuals and text. Scholars analyze techniques, styles, cultural impact, and the evolution of storytelling in comic strips, graphic novels, and animated films. By studying cartoons, researchers gain insights into cultural norms, humor, and artistic expression, promoting a deeper understanding of how visual narratives shape and reflect society. This interdisciplinary approach can incorporate elements of art history, literature, and media studies.
