Yep, cartoon is a very good way to describe Washington's dope smoking scene in M & D. This cartoon to be precise:

Echoing Paul, is "cartoon" really the best word to describe a character like George Washington in M&D? Pynchon puts him together something like a puzzle, including in the characterization a number of traits that play with and against, invertmand subvert a set of George Washington datapoints that a lot of American general readers of literary fiction carry around in our heads.
