Internet cartoon

Time you got around to sponsoring a child
An Internet cartoon is an animated video released for viewing on the Internet. Theya are often free, but sometimes a small fee is asked for. They are often animated in the Shockwave Flash multimedia format.

These have been becoming more popular in recent years: in the United Kingdom, for example, Weebl & Bob has been getting short showing on MTV and Rathergood getting its own TV show on Channel 4 under the title "Rathergood Videos".

A notable example is Homestar Runner.
