Actor on The Simpsons maybe? (8,7)
I believe the answer is:
animated cartoon
'the simpsons maybe?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'actor on' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'actor' is 'carto' which is within the answer.
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for animated cartoon that I've seen before include "Sleeping Beauty, perhaps" , "Film" .)
