PENGERTIAN KARTUN

Kartun (cartoon dalam Bahasa Inggris) berasal dari bahasa Italia, cartone, yang berarti kertas. Kartun pada mulanya adalah penamaan bagi sketsa pada kertas alot (stout paper) sebagai rancangan atau desain untuk lukisan kanvas atau lukisan dinding, gambar arsitektur, motif permadani, atau untuk gambar pada mozaik dan kaca. Namun seiring perkembangan waktu, pengertian kartun pada saat ini tidak sekadar sebagai sebuah gambar rancangan, tetapi kemudian berkembang menjadi gambar yang bersifat dan bertujuan humor.Sebagai salah satu bentuk komunikasi grafis, kartun merupakan suatu gambar interpretatif yang menggunakan simbol-simbol untuk menyampaikan suatu pesan secara cepat dan ringkas, atau sesuatu sikap terhadap orang, situasi, atau kejadian-kejadian tertentu. Kartun biasanya hanya mengungkap esensi pesan yang harus disampaikan dan menuangkannya ke dalam gambar sederhana, tanpa detail, dengan menggunakan simbol-simbol, serta karakter yang mudah dikenal dan dimengerti secara cepat.

Kartun mempunyai sisi menarik yang memiliki keunggulan lebih dibandingkan dengan media komunikasi yang lain. Ketertarikan seseorang terhadap kartun menurut penelitian Priyanto Sunarto yang berjudul Metafora Visual Kartun Editorial pada Surat Kabar Jakarta 1950-1957 disebabkan dalam mengungkapkan komentar, kartun menampilkan masalah tidak secara harfiah tetapi melalui metafora agar terungkap makna yang tersirat di balik peristiwa. Metafora merupakan pengalihan sebuah simbol (topik) ke sistem simbol lain (kendaraan). Penggabungan dua makna kata/situasi menimbulkan konflik antara persamaan dan perbedaan, hingga terjadi perluasan makna menjadi makna baru.

rapunzel

Rapunzel" (/rəˈpʌnzəl/; German pronunciation: [ʁaˈpʊnt͡səl]) is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales.^[1] The Grimm Brothers' story is an adaptation of the fairy tale Persinette by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force originally published in 1698.^[2] Its plot has been used and parodied in various media and its best known line ("Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair") is an idiom of popular culture.
In the Aarne–Thompson classification system for folktales it is type 310, "The Maiden in The Tower".^[3]
Andrew Lang included it in The Red Fairy Book.^[4] Other versions of the tale also appear in A Book of Witches by Ruth Manning-Sanders and in Paul O. Zelinsky's 1998 Caldecott Medal-winning picture book, Rapunzel and the Disney movie Tangled.
Rapunzel's story has striking similarities to the 10th century AD Persian tale of Rudāba, included in the epic poem Shahnameh by Ferdowsi. Rudāba offers to let down her hair from her tower so that her lover Zāl can climb up to her.^[5] Some elements of the fairy tale might also have originally been based upon the tale of Saint Barbara, who was said to have been locked in a tower by her father.^[6]

homer jay simpson

Homer Jay Simpson is a fictional main character that appears in the animated television series The Simpsons as the patriarch of the eponymous family. He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta and first appeared on television, along with the rest of his family, in The Tracey Ullman Show short "Good Night" on April 19, 1987. Homer was created and designed by cartoonist Matt Groening while he was waiting in the lobby of James L. Brooks' office. Groening had been called to pitch a series of shorts based on his comic strip Life in Hell but instead decided to create a new set of characters. He named the character after his father, Homer Groening. After appearing for three seasons on The Tracey Ullman Show, the Simpson family got their own series on Fox that debuted December 17, 1989.
Homer and his wife Marge have three children: Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. As the family's provider, he works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Homer embodies several American working class stereotypes: he is crude, overweight, incompetent, clumsy, lazy, a heavy drinker, and ignorant; however, he is essentially a decent man and fiercely devoted to his family. Despite the suburban blue-collar routine of his life, he has had a number of remarkable experiences.
In the shorts and earlier episodes, Castellaneta voiced Homer with a loose impression of Walter Matthau; however, during the second and third seasons of the half-hour show, Homer's voice evolved to become more robust, to allow the expression of a fuller range of emotions. He has appeared in other media relating to The Simpsons – including video games, The Simpsons Movie, The Simpsons Ride, commercials and comic books – and inspired an entire line of merchandise. His catchphrase, the annoyed grunt "D'oh!", has been included in The New Oxford Dictionary of English since 1998 and the Oxford English Dictionary since 2001.
