When his father saw that Eddie could draw, he encouraged Eddie to become a cartoonist, drawing cartoons depicting current social issues.

With the help of drawing and painting software available, most enthusiasts are becoming cartoonists, often making fun of film artists or politicians.

As every newspaper or magazine has a cartoon section, either for fun or criticism, on current social and political issues, cartoonists with some imagination and awareness of current social and political events are in great demand in newspaper industry.

Cartoonists use paper and colours to draw cartoon characters which are mostly used in print media — newspapers, magazines, story books, comics, etc., and animators are those artists who create cartoon characters with the help of a computer system, which are made into cartoon films and video games.
