You should watch 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' Then you'll know as much as anybody else.

Abbreviated form of cartoon, sometimes used in an attempt to sound more fashionable or "cool" than saying cartoon.
(Also sometimes used as a misspelling of tune.)
A simplified/stylized drawing/painting/design, generally intended for the purposes of humour, satire, caricature, or storytelling.
Tends to be used for single drawings , as opposed to comic strips and comic books.
Also used for the animated version (e.g. television "Saturday morning cartoons"), commonly including both 3D and 2D stylized animation.

In gaming we call characters toons. For example. "Does anyone have a widget?" "let me jump on a different toon and see if I have that item in the bank."

It's what you whistle when you don't know the words.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
i am Basbas (the one who posted the question)... but, unfortunately, I got trapped in an endless loop of Catchas (something like that) and couldn't get back into my account, even with reset passwords. So, I created another!
I really appreciate your kindness in advising me.
I thought "toon" must be a specialised form of "cartoon". But it's just a trendy thing, apparently... and a tree and a wordless song, to boot... or not to boot, that is the question.
