How to buy cartoons for venues not listed here: magazines, textbooks, Chicken Soup books, advertising, licensing and newspaper features.
Call me or email me to buy for these places. I probably already have working relationships with you, or similar media, for these bigger markets and it’s easy to figure out pricing from past buys. For newspaper features, please take a look at my Weekly Comics page for my regular weekly features.
No Freebies, sorry
I offer reduced rates if more than 2 cartoons are purchased, by a. No cartoon here is free, even for teachers and students. Using cartoons without permission is illegal and is subject to fines up to $150,000 plus legal fees. Fair Use does not have different laws for schools; there are 4 rules for Fair Use, so this is an excellent time to teach students about copyright! Did you know copyright was made into law so artists wouldn’t starve to death? True.
Have fun with Paypal
There are two Paypal buttons here to include all the wonderful ways you could use cartoons, so just pick the one that matches how you would like to use it. Paypal accepts all major credit cards, and of course, Paypal. Very convenient for international buyers! Please name your company, school, website, etc, in the space provided, as you pay.
Hey, PS
!
We love you guys for loving our cartoons, and for visiting here! But we’re practical, too. We register our work with the copyright office. We pursue violators. With the smile of a predator.
Any other questions? Email me: Donna Barstow (no spaces) at gmail.com.
