Note
A regular -ed form that does double duty: it is the plain past (the paper cartooned him) and, after have or be, the perfect and the passive (he was cartooned as a clown). Two verb meanings stand behind it. One is drawing something humorous, often a public figure. The other is the artist's meaning of making a preliminary sketch, as for a fresco or tapestry. Context decides which is meant.
