A gag cartoon (aka panel cartoon or gag panel) is most often a single-panel cartoon usually including a hand-lettered or typeset caption beneath the drawing. A pantomime cartoon carries no caption. In some cases dialogue may appear in speech balloons following the common convention of comic strips.As the name implies—gag being a show business term for a comedic idea—these cartoons are most often intended to provoke laughter.
