[['''Inkblot Cartoon Style]]''' is the cartoon style most prevalent from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s.
 
Most historians refer to this as Rubber Hose Animation because characters' arms, legs and pretty much everything else are usually animated as if they were made of rubber tubing and without elbows or knees.
Line 24:
 
If this style is used in a cartoon that was made after the 1920s/1930s, it results in [[Retreaux]]. It often, but not always, goes hand-in-hand with [[Rubber Hose Limbs]], which originated from this style.
