Trying to earn some extra income? How about taking your best cartoon and turning it into a gold mine?

I drew a cartoon years ago that seemed to get laughs from everyone that read it. This cartoon has been used over and over and has become a part of that spam email that travels around the world with a dozen or so really funny gag cartoons.

I decided to turn this cartoon into some profit. One of the first things I did was put this cartoon on one of my ChuckleBerry's greeting cards. It is my most sold card ever. Buy the card here.

I then opened a FREE Cafe Press store and threw on some specialty items including t-shirts. This design is by far my most sold design on Cafe Press. See merchandise here.

I also allow people to purchase rights to print the actual cartoon. It has been published in papers, on posters and other silly merchandise. See cartoon licensing here.

Sooo, take one or two of your favorite cartoons and turn them into money making machines!
