Portrait of Alex Raymond, 1952 (photo by Ray Burns) \n The September 7, 1956, edition of The New York Times gave it nearly 11 inches of space, headlined "CARTOONIST DIES IN WRECK OF AUTO" and treated it in a straightforward manner: \n\nAlex Raymond, then known as the creator of Rip Kirby, had died the previous day in a single-car accident. Objectively yet respectfully, the account briefly summarized Raymond's accomplishments, among them the creation of the landmark feature Flash Gordon and the co-creation of Secret Agent X-9. And buried in the story was a mention of Raymond's gravely injured passenger, fellow cartoonist Stan Drake, then working on The Heart of Juliet Jones.

Well, he did work on the Uncanny X-men from '94 to '97, and he was one of the more popular artists at the time.  He designed the costumes for the Age of Apocalypse!  I cannot recall the issue numbers though - I do know that he incorporated a manga style while copycatting the look of Arthur Adams' work.  It was refreshing to see!

FIRST CARTOON\nThe first cartoon appeared in Ben Franklin's newspaper The Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754. It appeared as part of an editorial by Franklin commenting on 'the present disunited state of the British Colonies.'\n\nAnother early cartoon from the 1700's appeared in the Massachusetts Centinel on January 30, 1788. Entitled 'The Federal Superstructure,' the drawing shows a hand helping to raise the Massachusetts pillar to an upright position. The Centinel newspaper, a supporter of the new Constitution, observed that 'The Pillar of the Great Federal Edifice rises daily.'\nhttp://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/firsts/cartoon/\n\nFIRST ANIMATED CARTOON\nThe predecessor of early animation was the newspaper comic strips of the 1890s. Historically and technically, the first short, animated film (in other words, the first fully-animated film ever made) was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) by newspaper cartoonist J. Stuart Blackton, one of the co-founders of the Vitagraph Company. \nhttp://www.filmsite.org/animatedfilms.html\n\n1ST TELEVISED CARTOON\nMay 19, 1939- The Walt Disney cartoon Donald's Cousin Gus airs on NBC's experimental station W2XBS (later WNBC-TV) in New York. This marked the first film cartoon to be televised in the United States. \n\nSeptember 1, 1939 - The anticipated outbreak of World War II brings television broadcasting at the BBC to an end at 12:35 p.m. after the broadcast of the Mickey Mouse cartoon, Mickey’s Gala Première, various sound and vision test signals, and announcements by presenter Fay Cavendish. It was feared that the VHF waves of television would act as a perfect homing signal for guiding enemy bombers to central London: in any case, the engineers of the television service would be needed for the war effort, particularly for RADAR. The BBC would resume its broadcasting, with the same Mickey Mouse cartoon, after the war in 1946. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_in_television

You can try to get it published in a magazine like Juxatapose magazine. Or make it an online comic and use pay pal or another payment option (I forgot the name) to get paid for it. So people will have the comic and pay a 1 time fee to look at it and wait for the next comic. Charge like a quarter at fist though so that way more people can see it. As it grows with popularity then make a special comic and charge more to see it. etc etc.

It was Thomas Nast (1840-1902), a political cartoonist drawing for Harper's Weekly, who in the early '60s first came up with the idea of representing the political parties as animals.  The Republicans as elephants they being the liberals whose time had come and couldn't be stopped, and Democrats as donkeys, they being the hard core conservatives too stubborn to see the writing on the wall.  Times have really changed, haven't they?  Nast, in a cartoon in '61, also created the popular, and now universal, image of Santa Clause.

I am a Graphic Designer.  I could not possibly think of a cooler job for me.  I had to work very hard to convince my parents to allow me to major in Art, they thought I would be selling paintings on the sidewalk, I guess.  But I worked very, very hard and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art and now I get paid to draw pictures everyday!  I love it!

It depends on the superstar. Most gimmick wrestlers are on short term contracts, but guys like HBK, Taker, etc are on long term guaranteed contracts. The Undertaker is the highest paid superstar with a guaranteed contract of about 2.5 million a year. Michaels, HHH are on the next level at about 1.5 a year, and the rest are on a lower scale. This is a base salary and doesn't include any money from merchandising, which most wrestlers have a % of.
