If we do need to have some specific cut-off point (I'm skeptical...), declaring that "famous cartoonist" means exactly such-and-such sounds a bit paradoxical. (I.e., I thought I knew what "famous cartoonist" meant, but I didn't know that it meant that...) -- LMS
Apart from that, a million would make a looong list. I bet every country with more than 5-10 million inhabitants has a few cartoonists localy "famous" under this definition, but not widely known outside this nation. E.g. I do not know Capp, and Nash only as a poet (as do the authors of his page, BTW) -- Robbe
"Famous" should be dropped because like so many other qualifying words beginning lists all the list REALLY is is what wikipedians care enough to type. I changed "Important Latin Poets" to "Surviving Latin Poets" earlier today. "Important" is (a)less accurate {the list included Propertius, who is as fine an example of a minor poet as one could wish} and (b) potentially non-neutral. I love the idea of a million-reader-cut-off, but who was counting and when? Just say "Cartoonists with or soon to have individual entries" and be done with it. --MichaelTinkler
Many cartoons, particularly in comic book format, by large publishing houses like Marval, DC, Disney are made by teams of artists, as work for hire. The notion of individual creator does break down substantially.
Why have a list of cartoonists AND a list of comic creators? Plus a Category:Cartoonists? We should put some order in this. -- KS
I change the words "single panel comic strips". According to many other comic fans (most notably me =S) there is no such thing as a "single panel comic strip", a comic strip must, per definition, include at least 2 "panels", telling a sequential story.

I don't get the action/superhero distinction at the end, some of those aren't action/superhero cartoonists, they're just cartoonists, especially Jeff Smith.-- Hiding 22:54, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
When searching for the subject "cartoonist" there is a photo of a man drawing a comic strip. The tagline says he's drawing the comic strip "Shoe". No, he is not. The man in the photo is Dick Locher and he's drawing the comic strip "Dick Tracy." Jeff MacNelly drew Shoe.

I am frankly astonished at some of the people not mentioned. How can you omit Chester Gould, creator of Dick Tracy? Or John Byrne? Arthur Adams? George Perez? Wendy Pini, of EQ? Mike Grell? And the Canadian political cartoonist, Aislin? Also, I noticed a strong Australian bias... Was it because submissions were coming from there? Also, how is it the hyperlinks for artists' names come here, and not to articles about them? I already knew Dave Berg was a cartoonist when I clicked his name.... --squadfifteen, 18/10/05
If no one has any objections, I would like to alphabatize each list as they seem jumbled with names and delete the dead red links as this is an encyclopedia and a name without information is just a name. WayneRay 19:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)WayneRay
Surely this page is redundant now that there is a category system? If all cartoonists were listed it would be a LARGE page. Alan Liefting 03:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I removed those entries that were only a red link. We need this list to be composed of blue links, otherwise there is no way at all to check that new names added are genuine. I alseo wrote a little bit of an intro. Before it had nothing. Invertzoo ( talk) 18:35, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Current structure:
Several problems:
The sections that make sense are simply cartoonists notable for work in animation, for work in comic strips, and for work in comic books. Either that or by nationality.
Thoughts? --— Rhododendrites talk | 00:06, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
