When Was the First Cartoon Made?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Today we can use technology to build a cartoon you. But what about in the past?

It’s difficult to track down exactly when man began making cartoons. As far back as the 1800s, people were drawing flip books of themselves. And what’s the Mona Lisa? Really, it’s a cartoon of a lovely lady. Even the Romans put a cartoon Caesar on a coin.

But, in reality, cartoons go even further back than that. Ever seen cave drawings? Ever since man crawled out of the primordial ooze, he’s been trying to make a cartoon you.

OK, it’s a little silly. But seriously- it’s always been a human need to make a cartoon you. We’re glad to help you get the chance.

How Old Do You Have to Be to Make A Cartoon?

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

People of all ages love to make cartoons. But how old should you be when you make your cartoon?

Even though everyone loves watching cartoons, only people over 13 should make them. It’s a difficult, but true, reality- making a cartoon requires maturity.

If you’re going to go on the internet and show the world who you are, you need an adult mentality. After all, you are representing who you are. Sure, it’s a lot of fun to make a cartoon, but it also requires responsibility.

Sometimes, having fun means having the experience to handle it. If you do, then you’ll love showing your friends just how great you are.

Today’s Cartoon of the Day is Katie. She’s always got her notebook out in class. But she’s not recording notes about Anthropology 101. You’ll find drawings, letters, and poems written to all the beautiful boys in her class. And it’s a good bet that she’s getting the same notes back. In a houndstooth jacket, boy shorts, and flirty tennis shoes, she’s the apple of everyone’s eyes. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. Sign up for class and make your own animated me today!
