Someone who kills you with four panels and a deadline.

means A person who draws pictures, often satirical or comic, to tell a story or make a point in a few frames.

from From 'cartoon,' which originally meant a full-size preparatory drawing on sturdy paper — Italian 'cartone,' a big sheet of 'carta' (paper), used by Renaissance artists to plan frescoes and tapestries. The word's meaning drifted comically in the 1800s when a satirical magazine mocked a fresco-design competition by publishing mock 'cartoons' that were really just comic drawings — the joke stuck, and 'cartoon' became the word for the funny pictures themselves. 'Cartoonist' followed naturally as the person wielding the pen.
