'cartoon character' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'poet's devil child' is the wordplay.
'poet's' becomes 'homers' (Homer is an example).
'devil' becomes 'imp' (devilish creature).
'child' becomes 'son' (male child).
'homers'+'imp'+'son'='HOMER SIMPSON'
