As a corporate trainer, I have always used cartoons successfully to energize and add impact to my training programs. There is an interesting article published by Newspaper Research Journal in the Summer of 1998 by David Prabu and Kang Jagdeep. If you have some time, you can read it online here: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3677/is_199807/ai_n8793140
It is an in-depth study of the hugely positive impact visual elements have on memory. Pictures, images and cartoons not only reinforce learning, they aid in helping participants remember what they are learning.
An interesting read that reinforces what we trainers already know! Cartoons are a great addition to any learning program!
