Weekly News Cartoons

For the past three years I have been doing newspaper gag cartoons for a national newspaper called The Weekly News. Three years ago I wasn't so much wanting to be an animator than a newspaper cartoonist, but after a few months of pursuing this I got a taste of just how hard this would be to make a career out of. I submitted to so many newspapers and no one would reply, but then a newspaper called The Weekly News emailed me back and told me they liked my cartoons but that I should alter my gags and tailor it more towards over 60's, the primary readership of the newspaper.

So I sent them my first three cartoons and they accepted the one below...

Now I try to submit four whenever I can and they usually accepted one. It's a very rewarding experience as it provides me the opportunity to practice my drawing skills and it's also very fun because it's like I'm creating my own worlds.
