| Cartoon Penguin | comment |
There are many different species of penguins, vastly different in appearance. However, most people don't know all of them, and some are a bit complicated to draw, so penguins in cartoons will often be a generic, simplified variety of no particular species. The typical design includes: Solid black and white plumage, with a black body and white belly. All penguins do have white bellies, and most have black feathers, but some are gray or blue instead (some cartoon penguins are blue as well, especially in Japanese or Animesque works), and a lot have additional markings. They may also have a white face, which is true of a few species. Real penguins have white underwings, but this hardly ever shows up in animation. Yellow or orange bills and feet. Some penguins do have an orange bill and/or feet, but they can also come in pink, black or gray. Bills are often portrayed as generic bird beaks; they can be short and pointed like a songbird or blue and rounded like that of a duck. Real penguin bills are not like this, as it wouldn't be effective for catching prey. Bowties will sometimes appear, to play on their black-and-white plumage looking like a tuxedo. In real life, no penguin looks exactly like this. The Adélie penguin comes close, being black all around with a plain white belly, but its head shape is a bit unusual, its feet are pink, and its bill is mostly covered in feathers, leaving it only visible at the tip. The Gentoo penguin also comes close, being black all around with a plain white belly, orange bill, and orange feet, but the top part of its bill has a black outline and it has a big white patch above each eye. This trope can be justified for simplicity's sake, especially if children are the target audience. |

Donpen, the mascot of the Japanese supermarket chain Don Quijote (itself named after Don Quixote fed through Katagana), is an example of the blue variety, being a white-bellied penguin with otherwise blue plumage, yellow, duck-like bill and generic cartoon animal feet. His Distaff Counterpart, Donko is the same but pink. | |

Opus the Penguin from Berkley Breathed's Bloom County (and, later, Outland) has all the right features: Black back and wings, white belly, yellow bill. Still, another character in the cartoon strip once suggested he looked more like a puffin. Unlike most real penguins, however, Opus usually wears a tie. | |

Pingu: The titular penguin, as well as most of the other penguins on the show, are portrayed as having round, mostly black bodies, with a white underbelly. They also have flat, orange feet and red, often duck-like beaks. Funnily enough, this only applies to the penguins of Pingu's age or older; the babies and toddlers like his little sister Pinga have the distinctive markings of Emperor penguin chicks. Downplayed in the anime spin-off Pingu in the City where rockhopper and gentoo penguins appear, though they have the overall same design as the other penguins. | |

The Pebble and the Penguin: While most of the cast are Adélie penguins, excluding Rocko the Rockhopper, their designs are a variation on the typical cartoon penguin with black and white faces and yellow beaks with a red tip. Actual Adélies have completely black faces, and although they do have a darker marking on their beak, it's just not red or even shaped like an Albatross beak. | |
