Dear Editor...

All of my cartoons are available for reprinting. Regardless of how they appear online, all of my cartoons are available in your choice of black & white or color. I charge on a sliding scale; in essence, I ask you to pay me whatever you think is fair for a publication of your size.

Here are some guidelines, in case you're not sure how much to pay. But you can ignore the guidelines, if you want - I'll accept any offer of $5 or above for black & white, or $50 and above for color..

• Local publications: $5-$50 per cartoon.
• National publications: $35-$500 per cartoon.
• Personal websites: I don't charge folks to use my cartoons on personal homepages, but I'd appreciate a link to amptoons.com.
• Commercial websites or large non-profit sites should propose a fair price based on your budget. I'd suggest a range of $25-$250 per cartoon.
• In addition to all that, I'd love a contributor's copy of your publication, if possible.

To purchase a cartoon, email me at barry@amptoons.com. In your email, be sure to include:

• The name of the cartoon you'd like to reprint (there is an archive of my past cartoons on Z Magazine's cartoon page).
• If you want the cartoon to be in black and white or color (all of my cartoons are available both ways, regardless of how they appear online).
• How much you'd like to pay.
• Information on where I should email, mail or fax you an invoice.
• Any other information you want me to know.

I'll email you a print-quality image of the cartoon right away. Do not try printing from the images available online; those images are only 72 dots per inch, and will print "fuzzy."

If you'd like an original comic strip on the subject of your choice, or incorporating specific elements from an article, email me at barry@amptoons.com and we'll work something out. Prices depend on the complexity of the cartoon you want, but in general I charge between $60 and $500. Depending on my schedule, I can usually send you the completed cartoon within a week.
