When we think of cartoons today, we think of Saturday morning children’s entertainment. We think of images drawn in bright colors, dealing in fanciful concepts, moving at a quick pace. Sometimes they deal with ethical struggles of selfishness. There is a common story arc of the main character indulging him or herself, hurting people around him/her, and ultimately learning a lesson about sharing or togetherness. When people think of cartoons today they don’t think of them as being places to make sweeping statements about race relations, or a place to influence opinion on national enemies, or a place to make jokes about domestic violence.
