Read the passage and answer the following question What writers struggle to express through numerous newspaper columns, the cartoon manages in a pointed one-liner. Little wonder then, that the first thing most of us like to see when we pick up a newspaper is the cartoon. Simple though it may seem, making a cartoon is an art that requires a combination of hard work, training and a good sense of humour. Cartoonists say that the cartoons that make us laugh the most are in fact the cartoons that are hardest to make. Even celebrated cartoonists like R.K. Laxman admit that making a cartoon is not a piece of cake. Laxman says he has to wait for over six hours, which includes spending a lot of time scanning newspapers and television channels before any idea strikes him. So how does one become a cartoonist? Which of us has the talent to make it? How can we master the rib-tickling strokes and the witty one-liners? How can we make people smile or laugh? There are few colleges or schools for cartoonists. Most cartoonists come from art colleges, while some learn the craft on their own. Most established cartoonists are of the view that no institute can teach you to make a cartoon. "You can pick up the craft, you may learn to sketch and draw in institutes, but no one can teach anyone how to make a good cartoon," says Uday Shanker, a cartoonist with Navbharat Times. While basics, like drawing and sketching can be learnt in an art college, and are important skills, these alone, do not make a good cartoonist. Because it's a question of one's creativity and sense of humour; two qualities one simply may not have. The advice established cartoonists give is that just because you can sketch, don't take it for granted that you will become a cartoonist.
What, according to Laxman, is the challenge in creating a good cartoon?
Waiting for the right thought to emerge
Browsing newspapers to emerge. and television.
Getting the right kind of idea
Good drawing and sketching training skills.

- This involves patience and the ability to filter through numerous thoughts until the right one appears.
- Option 2: Browsing newspapers and television
- This is part of the process Laxman uses to get ideas but not the core challenge.
- It's a method to gather input, not directly the difficulty in creating a cartoon.
- Option 3: Getting the right kind of idea
- This is closely related to the challenge of waiting for the right thought.
- The difficulty lies in finding an idea that is both humorous and insightful.
- Correct Answer
- Option 4: Good drawing and sketching training skills
- While these skills are fundamental, they aren't identified as the main challenge by Laxman.
