Have Punch Lines, Need Your Drawings - Cartoon Illustration Freelance Job

Greetings and thanks for reading this request. I have imagination and wit (but seem to be lacking in modesty) and seek to marry my ideas for cartoons (including captions) with your drawing expertise. My preference for cartoons is generally the simple type with fewer drawing lines that are often found in popular magazines. My vision is for us to both invest the time and the effort to submit hundreds of cartoons to various publications over a period of months in hopes of seeing a number of them published. I know nothing about this business (that ought to make you feel pretty good) but I would hope that through our good work we could earn contracts with publications, or at a minimum, be regular contributors. I would estimate that I could submit at least 7 ideas per week, but if it turned out to be as much fun as I think it might be, and you are up to it, perhaps we could put out many more than that. You could pretty much live anywhere, and we would use e-mail to communiate with one another. Should we make any money, which is certainly a goal, I would envision us splitting it equally. Only your name need appear on the work, though if you want to give me a little credit when you are interviewed by Larry King that would be okay too. My preference is for you to manage the business of submitting and tracking, and if you'll do that perhaps you could take 55%. We could split the costs of postage, envelopes, paper, etc. We would not have to establish a business per se, but rather we could be pooling our work as 2 independent contractors without any long term commitment to one another unless of course we put our names on the line at some future date for some kind of commitment we both agree to. As needed I can provide you with numerous business and character references; I believe in fair and honest dealings. And, you should know that the only work I am interested in teaming with you is okay for all ages. So, if you're saying to yourself "wow, what an opportunity, to team with a guy who I have never heard of, who admits he has no experience, who is not willing to pay me anything out of pocket for my time...I',m sure glad I read this one", then maybe we're a match. Will you please send me some sample drawings and advise me of any questions or comments that you might have. I am most appreciative of your time and consideration. With Regards, Doug Fowler
