What writers struggle to express through numerous newspaper columns, the cartoon manages in a pointed one-
liner. Little wonder then, that the first thing most of us like to see when we pick up a newspaper is the cartoon.
Simple though it may seem, making a cartoon is an art that requires a combination of hard work, training and a
good sense of humour. Some successful cartoonists say that the cartoons that make us laugh the most are in fact
the cartoons that are hardest to make. Even celebrated cartoonists like R.K.Laxman admit that making a cartoon is
not a piece of cake. Laxman says 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.
So how does one become a cartoonist? Which of us has the talent to make it? How can we master the rib-tickling
strokes and the witty one-liners? How can we make people smile or laugh? There are few colleges or schools for
cartoonists. Most cartoonists come from art colleges, while some learn the craft on their own. Most established
cartoonists are of the view that no institute can teach you to make a cartoon. “You can pick up the craft, you may
learn to sketch and draw in institutes, but no one can teach anyone how to make a good cartoon,” says Uday
Shanker, a cartoonist with Navbharat Times. While 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 humour; two qualities one simply may not have. The advice established cartoonists give is
that just because you can sketch, don’t take it for granted that you will become a cartoonist.Find four words from the passage that describe ‘ cartoonist
