              Throughout fine art history, beginning all the way back in 1450, vastly different types of comics and cartoons have existed as a form of published entertainment, bringing friends and families together for centuries. However, comics and cartoons have failed to be accepted into traditional art establishments because they have historically been looked upon distastefully as they are considered a product of commercial production and mass distribution.               Pop Art and appropriation art are included within the fine art movement, even when they employ commercial goods and cartoon elements --- a hypocritical exclusion of cartoonists and illustrators from existing in a respected space they deserve to occupy.
