cartoonal
 adj.— «For one thing, the paintings look, for the most part, like inanimate objects. Sillman describes one, aptly enough, as resembling a mattress strapped to the roof of a car. At least the drawings look like people, however cartoonish (or “cartoonal,” an artspeak neologism the artist seems to prefer).» —“‘Third Person’: The Thrill Is Gone” by Michael O’Sullivan Washington Post Mar. 27, 2008.
