See also the very funny "The Cartoon Laws of Physics" hosted on many sites; one such is:
https://schamschula.com/CartoonLaws.html
It's a good site in that it adds Amendments beyond the original, and tries to credit people who did them, but like many sites it doesn't list the *original* author:
O'Donnells' Laws of Cartoon Motion
Mark O'Donnell
Esquire, June 1980
This was high profile enough that there's a Wikipedia article for it:
Cartoon physics

I see another thing of interest, a video:
The Rules of Cartoon Physics: LOONEY TUNES
Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA: March 19, 2019
Linda Simensky, vice president of children’s programming at PBS, helped start animation department at Nickolodean.
