Do you recieve a commission when other drawers' cartoons are sold?

(And one thing: If you sell your cartoon to a magazine which doesn't allow further publishing then you still have the same problem for this cartoon to not be able to publish/sell it again. But for your other (not sold to a magazine) cartoons this would definitely be a benefical platform.) I think your idea could be working ;)

Hey Chris, thanks for the note.

Yes, the business model for me is that I receive a percentage of all licensing fees, while the majority goes to the cartoonists. (Currently about 3/4's of the cartoons there are mine anyway.)

Regarding the issue with magazines: They don't care what you do after publication, they only care that they're the first to publish it. So you have it slightly in reverse. :)
