How Much Money Does A Cartoonist Make?
Bunches. If you're dead that is. Forbes Magazine has listed the top earning dead celebrities. Number one on the list is Elvis, The King. Surprisingly number two on the list is none other than...
Cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, creator of the Peanuts Gang. His 12 month earnings estimate was $33 million. Although Schulz died on Feb. 12, 2000 his cartoon empire continues to thrive.
A partnership was formed last October between the Peanuts comic strip and Warner Bros. studios. The deal sparked a spate of new DVD releases with fresh Peanuts content, sending the cult cartoons flying off shelves. In the spirit of the U.S. election season, Peanuts' main character, Charlie Brown, teamed up with the Rock The Vote campaign, and the movie You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown was re-released.
If that is not motivation enough to get busy with your cartooning career I don't know what is.
