There's an uncertain shortage of terms in english on the subject, so they were turned into classes with overload.

Word „cartoon“ may mean caricature, or may mean comic strip, depending on context. So think in terms of context (yup, completely ambiguous, a newspaper may publish both, sometimes even on the same page... there you go).

How many translators from english does it take to replace a lightbulb? Unknown, depends on the context.
