Cartoon Sitcom

A cartoon book from your photos

Flat primetime-cartoon humour, bold outlines, big round eyes and satirical warmth.

Sample spread illustrated in the Cartoon Sitcom style

The world of Cartoon Sitcom

Bright flat colour, elastic expressions, family-on-the-couch energy. Cartoon sitcom draws your household like the animated show it already is. The style for families whose dinner table is the best writers' room in town.

Best for: Funny families, sibling chaos, everyday comedy.

Who it suits

Families who are funny about themselves. It needs the household to be in on the joke, because the style exaggerates, and that only lands when everybody agrees the exaggeration is fair.

Which photos work best

Candid beats posed by a distance. Somebody caught mid-sentence at a kitchen table is the ideal source. Group photos work well, and so do the slightly unflattering ones, which the style turns into character rather than insult.

How it differs from 3D Animation

The 3D cartoon style makes a child look heroic. This one makes a family look like a show. Same warmth, different target: one flatters, the other teases. See 3D Animation

Questions about this style

Will it make fun of people?

It exaggerates, it does not mock. Features get pushed for comedy the way any cartoon does, and you see every spread in the proof before anything is printed.

Is it suitable as a gift to in-laws?

Depends entirely on the in-laws. If you are unsure, watercolour or folk art carries the same family warmth without the teasing.
