Loooong webpage of accordion cartoons and comic strips:

Accordion illustration is particularly popular in children's picture books. Because they look like fun.
I think we gave up collecting the images they're so common. Like if there's "picture a bunch of musicians here" in a kids book, it's basically 1955 again. They're everywhere.
I see them a lot in graphic novels/comics too, but I'm always looking. They show up in comics for kids/youth or from outside the mainstream English superhero market.
Video games have Kass. ? ?
And there's a pirate game, with a hurdy gurdy (!) and an anachronistic accordion you can play. (I've written to tell them accordions hadn't been invented yet, but they don't respond.)
Content Not intentionally a corporate promotion, but it does their job:
Most recently of course, the main character of the film Encanto plays vallenato accordion, at least briefly. I haven't see it yet. Maybe she gets to play it as part of her magic powers or something. Not so much in the trailer.
Lauded for the accuracy of the accordions pictured in the film. But not the storage of them in the local shop, where they are hung up by their bellows straps like animal pelts. The rare Colombian wild accordion. Highly prized by collectors once properly cured.

You can get a tie-in accordion-playing doll. Wait, there's an electronic toy accordion too? It is not accurate at all. No alternative to Roland here. The doll is playing a tiny version of the horrible electronic thing. Kids should get a refund.
