Basically, he's saying that cartoonists ignore traditional artistic study and base their cartoons on post-modern simplicity, aka "symbol" drawing, and because so many lazy cartoonists started doing this intentionally it ended up trickling down to the next generation of cartoonists, thus creating this wormhole where talented artists go to die.
After all, why bother learning how to draw a realistic eye when a dot with a circle around it accomplishes the same goal?
