It entirely depends on your definition of "cartoon" & in which medium, film, TV, publication.

The cave painting done by neanderthals could be considered Cartoons and the oldest ones found are almost 41 thousand years old.

It also depends where in history you're referring to.

A 5,200 year old bowl was found in Iran featuring a 5 panel drawing of a goat jumping into a tree.

In Italy in the 1610s, Leonardo di Vinci drew a series of images depicting an arm & neck as it would appear if rotated.

The first flip-book was patented in 1868.

Charles Emile Reynaud projected the first cartoon/animated images in 1892.

So it really depends on the criteria you're speaking of before this question can be answered.
