Cartoons are available in numerous formats, either custom-drawn created or licensed through sources like the The New Yorker magazine’s Cartoon Bank.

Once obtained, you can use cartoons in articles, blog posts, one-sheets, presentations, newsletters, speech hand-outs, and–even–on your business cards. Licensing fees can be very affordable, usually depending on the circulation of newsletter.

Here’s an example of a New Yorker cartoon I licensed for one of my early newsletters. Total cost, about one hundred dollars.
