CARTOONS PAGE

In modern print media, a cartoon is a piece of art, humorous in intent.The first magazine to
feature gag cartoons was the London Political Register in 1767. The first newspaper cartoon was printed in
America in 1814. Cartoons began appearing in English newspapers in 1832 but they were not regularly
published until the 1870s.

WHY CARTOONS?

Everyone loves cartoons. I still draw them by hand which makes them interesting and unique. It's that irregularity and uniqueness that draws people in.They are a great way to communicate a message and connect you with your audience. Cartoons almost always have some level of humour in them and humour sells. When you combine the human element with the emotional communication that only a picture can provide you evoke smiles and smiles sell. So Contact me to commission cartoons that will add humorous highlights to your publications and/or presentations and further engage you customers with your product, service or communication.

•Humour is one of those fast-acting transparent delivery systems that eases a concept to the
brain. Steven Guarnaccia
• Amusing things just stick in people's heads a little better. Alex Isley
