Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the cartoons on this site really free?

A: Yes! As long as you're a nonprofit political or social change organization, and you're not using the cartoon for commercial purposes (in other words, you're not profiting from its use).

Q: If I use one of your cartoons, do I have to say where I got it?

A: Yes, including a link to http://www.CartoonFreeAmerica.com

Q: What is a "creative political donation"?

A: Some of us don't have discovered that sometimes the best way to make a difference is to donate our creative works or energy rather than money. This can be much more satisfying, and worth much more in the long run. That's a creative political donation.

Q: I have some cartoons I'd like to submit, how do I do that?

A: Send us an email at and tell us what you have.

Q: What types of cartoons and media will you accept?

A: We're open to receiving all types of media, including static art, Flash animation, Shockwave, and even short videos.

Q: If I give you one of my cartoons, will I get paid any money if someone uses it?

A: For a cartoon to appear on Cartoon Free America, it must be considered a donation to any political or social nonprofit that wants to use it for non-commercial purposes. Your works are covered under a Creative Commons License. If someone wants to use it for commercial purposes, they must contact you to work out arrangements (including any fees you might want to charge).

Q: I need a higher resolution version of one of your cartoons. How do I get it?

A: Contact the artist directly.
