“Sociocultural evolution, sociocultural evolutionism or cultural evolution are theories of cultural and social evolution that describe how cultures and societies change over time. Whereas sociocultural development traces processes that tend to increase the complexity of a society or culture, sociocultural evolution also considers process that can lead to decreases in complexity (degeneration) or that can produce variation or proliferation without any seemingly significant changes in complexity (cladogenesis).[1] Sociocultural evolution is “the process by which structural reorganization is affected through time, eventually producing a form or structure which is qualitatively different from the ancestral form.”

Comfort Cartoon
from Urban Dictionary, an entry by Larra Nima (from Manila, currently based in Toronto, ON, Canada)
Definition:
Synonymous to comfort food, comfort cartoon provides feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality towards the viewers. The type of animation tends to be stylized and visually appealing: over or under saturation of colours, “incorrect” motion etc.
The storylines tend to be rich with lessons and underlying meanings (nutrients) or sometimes it’s just for pure fun and joy (carbs).
Popular examples would be: Classic Looney Tunes, B&W Mickey Mouse, retro Disney (70’s or 80’s classics).
Used in a sentence:
I had a shitty day at work today, but I wanted to stick to my diet…so instead of gorging on burgers and ice cream, I watched comfort cartoons instead.
