Political cartoons usually emphasize characature and appear on opinion pages of newspapers. pornographic cartoon PornographicCartoon The collection of all pornographic cartoons.

Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM.

A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvjSBSZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artifact_Generic</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvkNufpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationBearingThing</a>. Each instance of this collection is an artifact from which information is extracted by viewing it (note that a viewer may need to be familiar with an appropriate set of interpretive conventions in order to do this). Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a> include handwritten letters, newspapers, sculptures, television sets, and neon signs. (Thus, the information content of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a>s may or may not be propositional in nature.) In the proper conditions, instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a> produce instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkL2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualImage</a> (which, unlike instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a>, are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViADZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Event</a>). For example, if one shines light on a photograph, a characteristic <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkL2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualImage</a> is produced. Likewise, if one electrifies a neon sign, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkL2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualImage</a> is produced. A notable specialization of this collection is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv_W6CJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StillImageSource</a> -- sources of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkL2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualImage</a> that do not move (which thus includes all the examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a> given above except for the television set). See also the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQBjlpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">visuallyDepicts</a>. visual information source VisualInformationBearingThing IBTContentType type of information bearing thing classified by content A collection of collections. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvidr35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IBTContentType</a> are specs of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvkNufpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationBearingThing</a>. Each such instance (that is, each IBTContentType) is specified primarily by the type or organization of information contained by its instances. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP2KM5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">JazzMusic</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvwE_DpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerProgramCopy</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViX1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Spreadsheet</a> are all IBTContentTypes, since each is primarily distinguished from other kinds of IBTs by the nature or organization of the information contained. Non-examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkJAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CompactDisc_Generic</a>, since compact discs are distinguished by their physical format, rather than their information content. (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvjSAy5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IBTFormatType</a>). IBTContentTypes whose instances contain not just similar but identical information (such as a single magazine issue, or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJ1dg5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CitizenKane_TheMovie</a>), should be made specs of the more specific <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViqv5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpecifiedInformationBearingThingType</a>. IBTContentTypes whose instances are members of a series (for example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvu55tJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StarTrek_Classic</a>) should be made instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEbBc5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IBTSeriesType</a>. Instances are the spatial regions (usually 3d) depicted or displayed in a visual image. ImageSpace scene cartoon Cartoon The collection of drawings of characters.
