Garbo Cartoons

A cartoon (from the Italian "cartone" and Dutch/Flemish word "karton", meaning strong, heavy paper or pasteboard) is a full-size drawing made on paper as a study for further drawings, such as a painting or tapestry. In modern print media, a cartoon is a piece of art, usually humorous in intent.

Because of the stylistic similarities between comic strips and early animated movies, "cartoon" came to refer to animation and this is the sense in which "cartoon" is most commonly used today. These are usually shown on television or in cinemas and are created by showing illustrated images in rapid succession to give the impression of movement.

Nowadays cartoons have become very common on the internet. Many cartoon clips can be seen on different sources. Think of Youtube, for example.

Greta Garbo cartoons are funny - they are persiflages of certain peculiarities she had or special quotations she was known for...just think of her "I want to be alone". But in spite of all the fun and maybe even some bizarre estrangement effects, the intention of a cartoon will always be to show a deep respect for the achievements of unique persons, such as Greta.

Miss Garbo was featured in many Warner Brothers and Disney cartoons of the 1930s and 1940s.
