Sunday Mailbag

Q: Do you have any advice for becoming a professional cartoonist?

A: Ordinarily I would write on and on about a subject like this one, but I’m just going to provide a link to answer this question today because I am

1. lazy
2. unable to come up with a better answer than Chris Browne’s “How to Be a Cartoonist”

That link comes courtesy of the National Cartoonists Society’s website. Chris is of course the writer and artist of “Hagar the Horrible”, and an all around swell guy. He’s got his own blog as well.

Thanks to Grant Jonen for the question. If you have a question you want answered for the mailbag about cartooning, illustration, MAD Magazine, caricature or similar, e-mail me and I’ll try and answer it here!
