Cartoonists Seeking Gagwriters and Gagwriters Seeking Cartoonists


If you are a cartoonist and need help coming up with gags, you may want to consider working with one of these gagwriters. Or, if you are a gagwriter you may want to submit ideas to the cartoonists listed here. If you'd like to be listed on this page as a gagwriter or a cartoonist, just send me an email along with your contact information and details about what you need. The posting is free.

Under the typical gagwriter/cartoonist arrangement the gagwriter submits ideas to the cartoonist who holds ones he wants to try. The cartoonist then draws up the cartoon and submits it. If he sells it he keeps 75 percent of the check, and pays the gagwriter the other 25 percent. Sometimes, in order to save bookwork, the cartoonist may prefer to pay a lump sum cash payment for the use of the gag.
