Many parents are adamant about keeping their kids away from the TV
set, which is also referred to as an idiot box, for fear of them
becoming couch potatoes. In fact, child experts claim that TV can fry
kids’ brains and that they’re better off doing more engaging and
productive activities like reading, jigsaw puzzles, arts and crafts, and
playing outside. However, while this is all true, keeping kids away
from the TV completely can prove to be a daunting, if not impossible,
task. Parents are tired and need to distract their kids even for a
while, as they go about doing chores or just plain resting.
There are several solutions in breaking up the battle between
children and parents when it comes to TV time. One is to limit the
number of hours the little ones spend in front of the tube; some say an
hour a day is the maximum for children under 6. Secondly, to keep the TV
experience from being passive, parents should watch the shows with
their kids and take on a more participative role to what’s happening on
the screen. That way, the child is interacting while watching and more
importantly, learning some things from the parents.
Lastly, parents should closely screen the shows that the kids are
watching. Just because it’s a cartoon and shows on a Kiddie TV channel
doesn’t mean it portrays the right values to the kids. In fact, many of
these cartoons are harmful to the child’s sponge-like brains due to
violence or disobedience to elders and other such issues.
If you thought Spongebob and his gang’s utterly idiotic antics could
knock a kid’s IQ down several notches, you’ll be surprised to know that
it’s actually the mildest of the cartoons that can harm children.
Here’s a list of cartoons that can harm children in the two to six
year old age range and should be avoided completely. The effects of
these cartoons may not be as drastic to older, more discerning children,
so it won’t be too bad if these older kids viewed the cartoons every so
often. The list only covers cartoons that are specifically targeted to
children and doesn’t include adult cartoons, like The Simpsons, Family Guy or Beavis and Butthead.

Some sources, however, suggest that the annual salary of a cartoonist is around $30,000 to $60,000 a year. Many cartoonists do not make a livable wage from their cartooning, however. Instead, they will usually hold a “day job” in order to make ends meet.

CARTOONS
CARTOONS
In this u will meet cartoons
A cartoon is a type of dimensional illustration. While the specific definition has changed over
time, modern usage refers to (a) a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic artistic style of drawing or painting, (b) an image or series of images intended for satire, caricature, or humor, or (c) a motion picture that relies on a
sequence of illustrations for its animation. An artist who creates cartoons is
called a cartoonist.[1]
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.[2]In
the 21st century, cartoons could be published on the Internet.
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 ormodello 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).[3]
Such cartoons often have pinpricks along the outlines of the design so
that a bag of soot patted or "pounced" over the cartoon, held against
the wall, would leave black dots on the plaster ("pouncing").
Cartoons by painters, such as the Raphael
Cartoons in London, and examples by Leonardo da
Vinci, are highly prized in their own right. Tapestry cartoons,
usually coloured, were followed with the eye by the weavers on
the loom.[2][4]
