Email me at howdy@101usesforageorgebush.com to pitch a cartoon.
It seems appropriate to celebrate W’s legacy of international cooperation and friendship and throw things open to the cartoonists of the world.
Here’s the deal: if you want to contribute a cartoon, shoot me an email and tell me about it first. If your idea’s a goodie, and nobody else has thought of it first, you’re on. If it’s not a goer, don’t take it personally, though it probably means I hate you.
The rest of the deal is that I plan to turn this into a book via Lulu. I’ll take 20% of the net profit for setup, hosting fees and general mucking about and the rest gets divvied up proportionally amongst contributors. Submitting a cartoon gives me a non-exclusive license to put it in the book. Do whatever else you like with it - hey, sell the original for a gajillion on ebay because it’s on that famous blog.
That’s about it, don’t send me a finished piece on spec (run it up the flagpole first) though finished pieces should be 9″ wide x 7″ deep, 300dpi, greyscale jpegs and bloody funny/clever/weird/rude though try not to make them too angry. Satire is a dish best served cold.
You’ll also get a link to your site on the contributors’ list and consider yourself lucky. Now get to it.
