Cartoon characters were traditionally drawn by hand but now the trend is computer-generated cartoons. These great characters appear in animated films or TV series, but many also have their own comic books and/or also appear in comic strips.
There are actually quite a few characters that are red heads (gingers) with red hair or just 'red' . Unfortunately, due to strict copyrights on their images, the actual cartoon character may not be shown, however.
