Daryl Cagle: That slideshow was great!
I'm Daryl Cagle, and I'm here to tell you a little bit more about Cagle
Cartoons, where all these cartoons come from, how you can use them and
read them for free and let's get going.
So.
This is Cagle.com.
This is our main site for anybody to just come and read cartoons, We have,
our latest video at the top, and you can scroll down the latest cartoons that
the 90 participating Cagle Cartoonists have uploaded chronologically from,
the last guy who sent in a cartoon.
And these are, Always updating.
We have a database close to 300,000 cartoons now, and we found that
most people were just looking at the newest cartoons that came in.
So that's what we put on the front page of the site, on the right you
see columns, these are from our 12 columnists, and these are also the
latest columns that have come in.
Each is paired with a cartoon that matches the topic.
And if you see here on the right free Daily newsletter, just click
on subscribe there, and you'll get a, choice to enter your email
address, first name and last name.
That will put you on our free newsletter list and, The
free newsletter is very cool.
Costs you nothing.
It includes the three most popular cartoons among
newspaper editors every day.
And, you should get it.
Heck, it's free.
If you don't want it, click unsubscribe at the bottom.
But, hey, it is so cool.
Gotta do it.
So let's dive a little deeper here.
If you click on Artists at the top, you will get a page full of artists.
Let's click on Christopher Weyant.
He's a good one.
And you can see Chris's latest cartoon.
Scroll down and you see all of Chris's latest cartoons.
You can go all the way to the bottom and go back thousands of cartoons see as many
Chris Weyant cartoons as you want here.
now if you click on a cartoon, let's click on this top one.
You will get, the information that we have in our database, including
all of the tags, the keywords that Chris put on this cartoon.
And under that you'll see my related cartoons, similar cartoons, and,
this one obviously is picking up on, the Elon Musk and Doge, the first
tags here, and you're seeing his other Elon Musk and Doge cartoons.
and that's how they're organized I think that's very cool.
The next thing to look at is Caglecartoons.com.
This is our website for newspaper subscriptions.
So when newspapers wanna run editorial cartoons, they typically
subscribe to a service and they can use all of the cartoons as
they want and pay a monthly fee.
and that's what we do here.
This is how our newspaper.
Cartoons, get into the newspapers.
Newspaper editors come to this page and they download their cartoons here
and look at what's new every day.
You scroll down, you'll see more separated by Canada World and Europe now.
And, at the top of the page, you can see our latest columns.
This is, in the order that they were, uploaded most recent.
You can scroll down and see all the columns as you like.
We have great columns.
If you go back to Kegel at the top and click on columnists , you
can see all of our columnists.
These top two rows of 12 columnists are, are regular contributors, and they're
showing up in the order of, the last columns You can see Alexandra Paskhaver
had the most recent column and below that are our columnists who have, not been
so good about updating their columns, so they are not showing up in the
latest view, if you go to, cartoonists, you can see active cartoonists in
our syndication package, and you can, click on any of them over here.
here's Monty Wolverton.
This is also in the order that they were, uh, last received.
If you click on one, I'm, I'm signed in now as, a. Publisher so you
can see what the publishers see.
The publishers, come to the cartoon and they scroll down and they have
all of these download options of the cartoons in different standard sizes and
formats, so they can pick what they want.
Most often they pick the default option, which is just what
the cartoonist has downloaded.
although lots of them prefer RGB to CMYK, and lots of the artists uploaded CMYK.
So little bit in the weeds for you.
If you're not signed in as a subscribing publisher, you will get
a notification there that says you have to subscribe to get this content,
and the place you would subscribe is here at politicalcartoons.com.
our pay per use licensing site, and this is where you come to
license a one-time use of a cartoon.
People that do this are book publishers and, and such.
So we will click on a cartoon here.
Let's click on Ed Wexler with, Elon Musk and his big, chainsaw.
So you scroll down here and you will see, the prices for
each different kind of usage.
And, there are cheap usages for people who just wanna put something on their blog.
and, Come take a look.
I think these are quite a deal.
Here's something cool.
We've got this great search function on both CagleCartoons.com
and PoliticalCartoons.
So you come up here in the menu bar and you click on the little down carat.
You click on artists and you can see all of the artists on the site.
Let's pick, Bob Englehart and we want custom range.
Let's search from, january 1st to March 19th, and let's search for Elon Musk.
So I'll just type in Musk and submit search and look at that.
He drew.
Six cartoons.
One of them has shown up in black and white in color, so he uploaded those
separately, which he shouldn't do.
And these are all excellent cartoons.
So here, let's click on buyer's remorse.
And, there's this buyer's remorse cartoon.
We can go up to search cartoons and we can make very broad searches.
So, we will won't select an artist.
We'll select all artists and all dates, and we'll search for Trump.
That's gonna give us thousands of results.
here's Trump by all the artists and all the dates, taking a minute to
load, scroll down to the bottom.
Look, there are
one thousand three hundred and twenty five pages of cartoons about Trump.
Isn't that crazy?
Anyway, the, the search function I think is great fun and it's an easy way to
see all of the artists in a list and pick the one that, you're interested in.
So give that a shot.
Here it is.
here's the same search function.
It works the same way on, CagleCartoons.com.
But you can see there's just a few fewer artists.
And I'll pick, Taylor Jones and, let's try, JD Vance.
So I'll type in Vance and click on the.
Magnifying glass and he did the same thing, loaded the cartoon as separate
cartoons, black and white in color.
So he is got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 JD Vance cartoons.
they're looking pretty good.
Here's a nice big, crowd scene.
Taylor's like the best, crowd scene and caricature artist.
So, uh.
There it is.
