FAMOUS FIRST DRAFTS
Not a cartoon - there's a thread for what you are trying to do. I suggest you post it there.

Of course "Scrambled Eggs" was famously the first draft of "Yesterday" - so The Beatles have form.

But doesn't the edition of a speech bubble make its cartoon?
I've always thought of the front cover of Private Eye, for instance, as a cartoon, rather than a funny photo, as it's only the addition of the cartoonists speech bubble that makes it funny, rather than the photo itself.

Why. Why should that be a cartoon and not a photo with speech bubble? I've always enjoyed the PE captioned photos, but never viewed them as cartoons, and what makes somebody a cartoonist just because they have added a speech bubble to a photograph?
Certainly not a cartoon that someone has drawn, and as I pointed out, with thread reference, there is a place for those.
As with your Private Eye, it's a funny picture, so post it on the dedicated thread - not difficult is it.
The irony being, you were the last person to post a funny picture on that thread.
Having said that, looking back at the 'George and Mildred' one, it's more of a cartoon really.
I disagree wholeheartedly with your position - but will respect it.
This is your thread, after all.
Thank you, but you haven't answered my question, as to why they OR the person posting the speech bubble is a cartoonist.
I've done a number of them over the years, but am in no way a cartoonist, but would so like to be one.
Dunno about it being my thread, but if it continues with the funny pictures, which should be on the dedicated thread, then I will depart and leave a clear field for you all to take up the baton, to post what you like.
Same goes for the postcard thread, which I am not happy about - I have plenty of other things to occupy my time, rather than posting on a hijacked thread, which is being degraded, by someone who I suspect is not who or what they seem.

I don't think it is - it's a very funny and clever mock up of three photographs. Besides......................
Dare I say, then why didn't you post it on the cartoon thread?
Well, your thread had only been going a couple of weeks, and the Funny Picture thread had been established for nearly a decade.
No, re George & Mildred, I simply reappraised it in the light of your previous definition of a cartoon.
Still not sure where a picture with captions ends and a cartoon begins.
And what of photo-montage?
Don't worry, I shan't post any more - I was only posting that one to illustrate my point.

And I'm still not sure why you are having a problem with a captioned picture and a cartoon - chalk and cheese. Here's the Cambridge dictionary definition, and you will see there is no mention of a picture or photograph.
"A drawing, especially in a newspaper or magazine, that tells a joke or makes a humorous political criticism"
And what of photo-montage?
What about a photo-montage? Now you are getting into the realms of fantasy, or clutching at straws.
Don't worry, I shan't post any more - I was only posting that one to illustrate my point.
Do what you like, as I'm rapidly losing interest in sustaining this thread, anyway.
So, not wishing to labour the point, and reneging on my no more posts promise, but...
This is a drawing, a photo, a photomontage and has a speech bubble.
I would say, with some justification I feel, that this is a cartoon.
If you say so
