* Normally in many early cartoons ants are portrayed as a single-file line that has a "[[Determinator]]" quality. They have two versions, the first being that they don't stop for anything and pick up anything that happens to be in their way.

Occasionally a colony may also be portrayed as an army, with a commander and everything. |
