At the Cartoonist Group, we are passionate about humorous art. We marvel at the skils and abilities evident in the work of the diverse creators whose work is included here. A line here, some color there - these creators are masters at combining visuals and text . In the process, we, as the audience, are entertained and sometimes even educated in a way that is unique to this artform. The impetus for the Cartoonist Group grew out of our respect for this art combined with the belief that digital technology offers new ways for people to access and to utilize this art. Additionally, our interest in a database-driven site was fortified by experience with the Frank and Ernest database. In general, our goal is to make diverse and high quality humorous art available to users - on terms that make sense to the users - and to make the art available for multiple products and services. Our efforts here are guided by some key principles. First and foremost, the creator's/copyright owner's interest in their work is paramount. This means that we take copyright ownership very seriously. We intend to utilize all means available to us to protect the work featured here. Secondly, we want to treat the visitors to this site as we like to be treated. Among other things, this means that this is a cookie-free zone. We are not actively collecting or exploiting any information about any individual's visits here. We thank you for your interest in the Cartoonist Group and we will be happy to respond to questions or comments. Please call us at (206) 284-6765 or reach us via e-mail.
