I send cartoons to places that don't use them, for instance. I just sold a cartoon to a textbook, I have a cartoon in a calendar this year, I've been working more and more for paying clients on the Web, drawing cartoons and illustrations. <BR/><BR/>This would make a good topic for another blog entry.

I sold a few cartoons long ago (sold with my first batch in fact) and now I'm picking up the pen again. My question: what do you think of today's market situation? From what I'm seeing, magazine markets are dwindling fast, but most cartoonists don't seem too concerned. For my part, I think of cartooning as an interesting hobby, but I'd also like to make it pay. Since your article was written way back in 2006, I'm interested in your current perspective. Any insights appreciated.
