Cartoon Symbols

(Important Note: I have only uploaded the glyphs I have used in practice sentences and sample constructions. Therefore, not every glyph indicated on these "source" pages is available on my website at the moment. Instead, you'll probably see a lot of these little guys, , indicating that the image can't be loaded.)

Several generations of cartoonist have standardized certain ways of indicating certain concepts. For example, imagine a toaster. By itself, a toaster has no intrinsic personality or characteristics, but if you want to make it a boy toaster, you put a baseball cap on it. To make a girl toaster, put pigtails. A sexy toaster has long eyelashes, while a smelly toaster buzzes with flies.
