In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh The important
feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is
contained Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close
observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters tor
many years In wartime, for example, the proved to be an excellent way of
spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp
comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters In
this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force influencing
people-in Europe and the United States
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese
cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially
those who could not read and write Such cartoons about the lives and sayings ot
great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate
and semi-literate people throughout China Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all
appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons The cartoon^
themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in
very attractive way v^m im'j
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so
far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes Often, there is nothing to laugh a'
when you see Chinese cartoons This is not their primary arm In addition t'^'
commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed
spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible amoi'J?

HI Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading
Inowledge They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people
throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live Thus,
tdrough cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and
gages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture
Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius's famous saying "One picture is worth a thousand words."

What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department
In some ways, age is a positive plus For instance, when you're calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually y o u ' l l get the hang o f it
