When illustrations are used in an article for online content, a lot of visitors will stay and browse the website.

Cartoons and comics serve as a way of engaging participants by adding humor and providing a unique and colorful visual perception on articles that may make it easier to retain. It has been shown that people are more creative and learn better when feeling relaxed and in a humorous mood. Cartoons can help take the bite out of every single serious topic such as sexual harassment and discrimination.
