'e g calvin and hobbes' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'love getting into wagon and going' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'getting into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wagon' becomes 'cart' (cart is a kind of wagon).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'going' becomes 'on' (both can mean functioning or activated).
'cart'+'on'='carton'
'o' going inside 'carton' is 'CARTOON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cartoon that I've seen before include "Comic strip" , "Humorous sketch" , "Humorous or satirical drawing" , "could make one laugh" , "Jokey drawing" .)
