Since you asked…I write 10-15 gags per day and probably average 6 drawings per day. I got my start with freelance magazine cartoons where productivity was the key to survival, especially before the Internet. This type of output (5-10 cartoons per day) is pretty typical of the freelancers I know who produce work for many different markets. When Gary Larson said he couldn’t keep up the demand of one cartoon per day, a lot of them laughed.

Randy, just how many places DO your cartoons appear? And how many cartoons do you draw each day?

Randy Glasbergen is an often overlooked genius. What I like about him most is that he just gets his head down and gets the work down while others (probably me) go around making a lot more noise and a lot less art.
When the balloon goes up only 3 things will remain, cockroaches, Joan Rivers, and Randy Glasbergen’s cartoons.

Good for you, Randy! Thin Lines is a great idea for a niche comic strip!

Way to go, Randy! You are a living proof that there are many different markets for cartoons, than just the printed media.
