2. Cartooning Course: Sign your mother up for an online course or look for a nearby workshop on cartooning. These courses provide techniques and ideas on creating and drawing cartoons efficiently. The workshops can also be a great opportunity for her to learn from professionals and connect with other cartoonists.

4. Comic and Cartoon Books: There are numerous comic and cartoon books available on the market. You can get books that feature her favorite cartoon characters or may offer creative inspiration to her. Additionally, some of the comics come in a format that is easy to carry around and can be read in spare minutes.

A visit to a Comic-Con could be an exciting way for your mother to indulge in her passion for cartooning and meet other artists.

7. Subscription to Cartoonist Magazine: Sign up for a subscription to, or purchase a few copies of a cartoonist magazine for your mother. She would get fresh, creative inspiration, learn about the industry and stay involved with other like-minded individuals.
