Some people don’t understand the difference between a comic strip and a cartoon. Garfield is probably the number one comic strip cat, but is at best a minor player in the pantheon of cartoon cats, well below the Pink Panther, Felix, Top Cat, Tony the Tiger, Tom and Sylvester.

> [@](#):

> The word cartoon has various meanings, based on several very different forms of visual art and illustration. The term has evolved over time.
> 
> The original meaning was in fine art, and there cartoon meant a preparatory drawing for a piece of art such as a painting or tapestry.
> 
> The somewhat more modern meaning was that of humorous illustrations in magazines and newspapers. Even more recently there are now several contemporary meanings, including creative visual work for print media, for electronic media, and even animated films and animated digital media.
> 
> **When the word cartoon is applied to print media, it most often refers to a humorous single-panel drawing or gag cartoon, most of which have captions and do not use speech balloons. The word cartoon is not often used to refer to a comic strip.**
> 
> The artists who draw cartoons are known as cartoonists.

Thanks! I hadn’t won a **Feud** in a while, so I wasn’t expecting to take first place in this one – especially since I’ve never owned a cat! Thanks to my relationship with an animal lover, however, I have been helping feed (and otherwise cater to the whims of) a couple of felines for several years now…
