About: Cartoonland Time   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

If you pay attention in cartoons, you might notice something a little peculiar about everyone's schedule. Projects and undertakings that would realistically take weeks or months are compressed into days - if even that. There is usually no good reason for this whatsoever, since the amount of time that passes is typically stated in dialog, which could have easily been rewritten to reflect a more realistic timescale. It is often invoked by Rule of Funny. Montages operate on a similar time scale. It is often the reason for Instant Home Delivery, and may involve Offscreen Reality Warp.
