History of American Cartoon Genres -- Including Comic Books, Comic Strips, Caricature, Editorial Cartoons and Magazine Cartoons is a 2025 text generated by ChatGPT which says:"From hand-engraved propaganda woodcuts to the digital panels and graphic novels of today, American cartoon genres have continually adapted to cultural shifts and technological advances. Caricature and editorial cartoons wield satire as civic engagement; comic strips and magazine cartoons blend artistry with humor; comic books offer mythic narratives that mirror societal aspirations; and each genre, in narrative form, traces a lineage of innovation shaped by the pens -- and often the convictions -- of artists who have long since passed." Accessed 4/25

Masterpieces from the Museum of Cartoon Art is a 2019 exhibit at the Bruce Museum which says: "Treasures from this rich and varied repository represent all of the cartoon genres, including comic strips, newspaper panels, comic books, editorial cartoons, magazine cartoons, caricature, illustration and animation."
