(i) R.K. Laxman, a celebrated cartoonist, admits that making a cartoon is
not a piece of cake. He says that he has to wait for over six hours, which
includes spending a lot of time scanning newspapers and television
channels before any idea strikes him.

(i) Most established cartoonists are of the view that no institute can teach
you to make a cartoon.

(iii) Basics, like drawing and sketching can be learnt in an art college, and
are important skills. These alone, do not make a good cartoonist. Because
it’s a question of one’s creativity and sense of humor; two qualities one
simply may not have.

sketch, don’t take it for granted that you will become a cartoonist.”
