Did you know that cartoons actually originated around ancient times as the Italian "cartone", used as preparatory drawings for frescoes. The term was later applied to print media in 1843 when John Leech submitted a satirical drawing of frescoes being made in the Palace of Westminster. Because of stylistic similarities between the cartoons of the newspapers and the animated drawings, "cartoon" was applied to animation. "Toon" was then popularized by "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
