Cartoons the world over have generated interest to a particular topic through their simple way of putting forth messages across to the public. There are various types of cartoons, animated and two dimensional cartoons. Two dimensional cartoons use visual metaphors in them to help communicate the difficult and uninteresting subjects in a more comprehensive manner with ease. Cartoons are basically more visual in nature and it is this aspect of the cartoons that attracts attention. Visuals are lighter in tone and there is not much of a strain in understanding what is depicted in it. It has attracted the attention of the young and the old alike as it stands out from all the other matters of text, photographs and videos. Cartoons promote participation in discussions by their ability to construct things that are serious in tone to something lighter. They are easy to connect with people and have dealt with political and social issues. Over all, cartoon attract entertain, educate, and arrest the interest of the people. Cartoons are very powerful weapons and they have initiated public debate. Each cartoonist has a peculiar way of portraying the same message. The peculiarity of cartooning becomes the style of the cartoonist. There are various types of cartoons: strip cartoons, editorial cartoons, pocket cartoons and concept cartoons. Strip cartoons have multiply frames and are continuous like a strip. The message is conveyed through the sequence of the continuous frame. One has to follow the sequence of the strip cartoon to understand the message conveyed. There are cartoons that are known as pocket cartoons where a single idea/concept is portrayed. These cartoons are smaller in size compared to the editorial cartoons. Editorial cartoons are cartoons that appear in the editorial page of newspapers and magazines. There are others who just draw cartoons to convey a single concept or a message. They are known as concept cartoons.

The creative process of Therapeutic Art in the field of caricature and cartoon paves the way and results in an unparalleled comfort and relaxation. Sometimes it is difficult for an individual to laugh genuinely and without any obligation to do so, especially when a person is trapped under the grasp of severe mental illness, and might be insecure or sensitive due to several torments of their lives. Many individuals have found a way and tried to make an attempt to cope with certain confusions around them by binding themselves with piece of art or other forms of visual arts. This confusion can be cured by a sudden appreciation of therapeutic art, which has the tendency of being ridiculous or humorous sometimes.

Communication of messages can be done verbally or non-verbally. Verbal communication includes oral and written messages and non-verbal communication includes body language, gestures, facial expressions, proximity, etc. Another mean through which messages can be communicated effectively is visual communication. Visual communication ranges from cave paintings to today's new media messages. In early era, people used to draw pictures on walls or on the surface of rocks or in cave using bones. After the usage of bones, people started using stones to draw paintings and then iron tools were developed. Visual communication is considered as more effective than verbal or non-verbal communication because there is no language or geographical barrier.
