Comic actors sit on drawers (11)

I believe the answer is:

cartoonists

'drawers' is the definition.
(cartoonist is a kind of drawer)

'comic actors sit on' is the wordplay.
'comic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'actors'+'sit'+'on'='actorssiton'
'actorssiton' is an anagram of 'CARTOONISTS'.

(Another definition for cartoonists that I've seen is " Strip artists, perhaps".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
