Cartoonists often forget the power they wield. They get immersed in corporate cartooning and forget that the roots of their art form go deep into political activism. James Gillray, Thomas Nast, Louis Raemaekers... these are artists that every cartoonist should know, because they made a difference through their drawings. Another great artist in this field was Boris Artzybasheff.

One of the most common concepts explored in animation is anthropomorphism... giving life to inanimate objects.... think of the teapots in Disney films or the objects in Fleischer cartoons that suddenly have faces and arms... The master of anthropomorphism was an illustrator, Boris Artzybasheff. He embued machines with personality.
