Webtoon

For non-animated features, see Webcomic.

A webtoon is an animated comic strip, often created by an amateur, that is distributed via the internet. Usually webtoons are drawn in full color and read in one long strip per chapter. They are commonly created using Flash, or a simple image editor and frame animation software such as Windows Movie Maker. In some instances, some webtoons and creators have become famous enough to be picked up by the cartoon industry. Making Fiends, for example, became popular enough to be given the chance to become an actual cartoon on Nickelodeon. Other examples of a webtoon is Neurotically Yours, Happy Tree Friends, Pucca, and Homestar Runner.
