From the etymology of cartoons, we can know exactly that cartoons as an art form first originated in Europe. In modern Europe, there were two important historical conditions that prompted the emergence of cartoons: first, the development of the budding capitalism, which strengthened the power of the bourgeoisie, led to major changes in the social structure. Second, since the Renaissance, the idea of free and open art has been accepted by society. The interaction of these two conditions made traditional painting go down from the altar of the Middle Ages, and became closer to the aesthetic trend of the common people, which provided the social basis for the production of cartoon painting with simplicity and complexity. At the same time, as a means for the burghers to express their own demands, cartoons have also been endowed with broader political connotations.
