So you want to be a syndicated cartoonist...
When I first started AstroNerdBoy's Comic Strips, I only had a few of my favorite syndicated comic strips. Then two people e-mailed me to let me know about their web strips (Jon Winebrenner
Frayed Knot
and Pete Abrams Sluggy Freelance).
I loved both of their strips and so grew my collection of web strips. Since then, I've been asked by cartoonists questions about syndication. I felt stupid not knowing so I went out and asked some of my favorite cartoonist about the business. As I get their responses, I will post them here! In the near future, I'll try to add some additional information sources (books, magazines, web sites). Stay tuned!!
