Exclusive Tom Toro Cartoons

The Revelvator editor John R, Platt reveals that cartoonist Tom Toro, he of New Yorker and GoComics fame, will be creating cartoons for the environmentally-minded publication.

Toro has tackled other environmental issues in his cartoons for The New Yorker, Yale Climate Connections, and other publications, his own syndicated comic strip, “Home Free,” as well as his children’s picture books. Some of his cartoons will be collected later this year in his new book And to Think We Started as a Book Club…

Now he’s focusing his satiric lens on the extinction crisis — and The Revelator. Exclusive Tom Toro cartoons will soon appear in our newsletter every 2-3 weeks.

“I’m enjoying this too much,” Toro says. “I finally have an outlet for my lifelong love of animals and nature.”

School Administrator Magazine Seeks Gag Cartoons

Ron Coleman bring notice of School Administrator is is taking cartoon submissions:

From Lorraine Sobson, Consulting Editor at School Administrator:
“It’s that time of year again! The  editorial team at School Administrator is beginning its annual cartoon selection process. We are wondering if you might be interested in submitting some cartoons for consideration  to purchase and print.

As you may recall, our readers are public school system leaders, primarily superintendents, so cartoons that look at the politics of  leadership those that poke fun at an education trend or which relate to management of personnel issues are generally of interest. If they are superintendent specific, that’s okay.

We are asking to receive all submissions by Tuesday, April 29. You may submit black and white ink cartoons electronically as JPEG or TIFF files for consideration, but if selected for print we will need a higher resolution graphic file (at least 300 dpi) at 4″ by 5″).
Submit to: [email protected]

Cartooning Opportunities

The above is just one of scores of publications that Ron Coleman informs cartoonists of opportunities in his The New Gag Recap.

The Gag Recap is a marketing newsletter for cartoonists and gagwriters. Here you will find sources where cartoons can be sold, and examples of what publishers are buying. We provide articles which help cartoonists find more success in their business and in each issue we try to provide new markets for artists to try.
