Bradley Keough, America's favorite cartooning expert says:

"Give me seven hours a week, and I'll show you how to become a cartoonist"
Since its founding by Leo Stoutsenberger in 1960, Cartoonerama has trained thousands of cartoonists, including a great many who have gone on to profitable and rewarding careers in professional cartooning.

Cartoonerama Director Bradley Keough has over twenty years experience in the cartoon business and has published cartoons in syndicated newspaper strips, comic books, magazines and newsletters. Now you can put Bradley to work for you and benefit from his hands-on personal criticism of your work, as you complete the twenty four lesson CARTOONERAMA course.

You'll receive instruction in every phase of cartooning, including; materials and methods, expressions, lettering, hands and feet, the cartoon figure, cartoon action, perspective, quick cash earners and more.

The methods used in teaching cartooning are tried and proven. Each lesson contains several large plates with easy-to-understand, step by step drawings. These lessons take the student in easy stages through the simplest to the more complicated fundamentals. At the end of each lesson there are assignment cartoons to complete and mail to us for personal criticism.

We insist on this highly personal and individual attention to each student because we have learned through years of experience that personal contact is essential in training competent, professional, and experienced cartoonists.

The present tuition is comparatively low, but we're not sure how long we can keep it at this level. In the face of rising costs, now is the time to act. Sign up today and make your dreams of becoming a professional cartoonist come true.

For just $355.00 you'll receive your 24-lesson course book, which contains some 100 instructional plates and you'll receive our individual criticism of your work. This is an amount you can make back with the sale of just a handful of cartoons. Installment plans are available for slightly higher rates.

The time couldn't be better. Cartooning is in the midst of an international renaissance. Collectors are paying large amounts for original comics and cartoons that were once considered to be of little monetary value after they had been published.

Television places more and more demand upon the skills of cartoonists and animators for special kinds of programming. Newspaper syndicate editors constantly search for cartoonists with new, innovative strips and there has been a resurgence of demand for single panel gag cartoons that magazines use to enliven their pages.

How would like to be in a position to call your own shots? As a Cartoonerama-trained-cartoonist, you may be able to live anywhere you wish and mail your work out to one or several of the hundreds of markets that buy cartoons regularly. You can be your own boss, working the hours you want to work. Or, you can have the prestige that comes to a staff cartoonist of a newspaper or magazine whose work summarizes at a glance the events of the day on the editorial, news, sports, or feature pages.
