About the Cartoon Art Museum: Founded in 1984, the Cartoon Art Museum is the only museum in the western United States dedicated to all forms of cartoons and comics. The Cartoon Art Museum was started by a group of cartoonists and collectors who wanted to share their appreciation of this unique art form with the rest of the world. The Museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation, study and exhibition of original cartoon art in all forms to benefit historians, cartoonists, journalists, artists, collectors and the general public.
