i think the artist versus cartoonist dichotomy in my mind is about form, format, seriousness and complexity of the material, intended reader and intention of story. it's not about quality of story or art but maybe more about depth of complexity within either. marrying both might be what signals artistry as opposed to cartooning in my mind.
Here's a few in different categories as i would break them down to an extent, all writer/artists:
cartoonists: sergio aragones, stan sakai, carl barks, peter bagge, floyd gottfredson, herge, geoff darrow
in-between: eisner, hernandez bros, trondheim, don rosa, andrew mclean, mccay
artists: moebius, crumb, spiegelman, jim woodring, herriman
NB: this is spectacularly personal, possibly elitist, definitely an american means of perception and i wouldn't suggest anyone else toe this line but for me. And both are equally valuable and laudable!
okay sic and tuomas, have at me.

I’m a “cartoonists are sole authors” partisan. As with “comic books,” it’s stupid and unfortunate that all the terms in this field sound like babytalk to civilians, but here we are.
