This article deals with both the word-formation mechanism of blending and the creative process involved in providing characters with proper names in cartoons or TV series for children in English. The study addresses the nature and features of proper and common names, two apparently well-distinguished categories, as well as, and basically fictional proper names, by suggesting differences between fictional proper names and other types of proper and common names. Furthermore, it discusses the presence of blending in fiction and in fictional proper names, with special reference to charactonyms. The main focus of this work is on blended charactonyms in cartoons addressed to children, which for the purposes of this study will be called cartoonyms or charactoons. Questions such as the following are addressed: the formation or creation of cartoonyms or charactoons from pre-existing material; the semantic motivations behind their formation; their resulting structural complexity; their particularly descriptive, expressive and meaningful nature; as well as how suitable they are to the genre in which they are used.

Entre los múltiples personajes propios de la literatura latinoamericana, posiblemente el gaucho argentino ha sido el que ha despertado un mayor interés por la creación literaria, con el Martín Fierro de José Hernández como buque insignia de una amplia tradición. Esta se ve recogida muy pronto por la narración gráfica, ya sea a través de las ilustraciones de las ediciones clásicas, o en las adaptaciones de las grandes obras en revistas de historietas. Todas ellas van configurando una iconografía que completa el imaginario de los guachos, fundamental para la identidad argentina. En el siguiente trabajo haremos una panorámica de las historietas de gauchos desde las revistas tradicionales, las adaptaciones de obras literarias, como las del Martín Fierro, hasta personajes propios como Lindor Covas o Inodoro Pereyra.
