Do you try to make people laugh with your drawings of cartoon characters saying random funny things to each other? People all over the country read their favorite cartoons in the paper or online to laugh and take a break from their busy lives. Cartoonists have fun coming up with punchlines and funny situations for their characters but also must work hard to promote their comics.
Market Your Cartoons by Preloading Them on Flash Drives
A cartoonist trying to break into a crowded industry must find a way to make his comics stand out from the many guys sitting back in their apartments drawing at 3 A. M. trying to come up with the next popular comic. He should present his comics in a neat and professional way that will encourage publishers to look at them and consider buying them.
He could put his cartoons on USB drives he buys at wholesale prices and send those to potential publishers. That way newspaper editors, who usually work busy schedules and face a variety of tasks at the same time, can put the flash drives into their computers on their own time and look through the cartoonist’s ideas. People are not as likely to throw away a USB drive as they would be to trash a paper folder containing a portfolio of drawings.
He could put together an electronic portfolio presenting all the characters in his comic and write up bios for each one of these people. He could write a synopsis of any plots he plans to use for the comic strip as it progresses. He could also provide a personal biography and resume information describing any art training and work experience.
Editors look for people who have experience and ability in creatively expressing humor through art. Some cartoonists focus on everyday life and humorous event that happen in the office, the grocery store, or home. Others use talking animals who all have their own personalities. Others create fantasy worlds with characters that have special abilities and powers. But all cartoons communicate to people who are in a real world and can relate to situations that they see.
