If I remember correctly, the US has a ban on "simulated child porn" largely to avoid prosecutors needing to disprove defendants' claims that their images are photomanipulations or realistic CGI rather than actual photographs of children. However, I think that ban is explicitly limited to photorealistic images (as the logic of the defense would suggest) and thus wouldn't cover cartoon-style drawings or CGI.
