Cartoons Aren’t Contests

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

It’s always tempting to make something you love into a contest. Just think about it- lots of things are more fun when you make them competitive.

Cartoons can be that way too. It’s fun to compete with your friends for who can make the funkiest styles, or the silliest hairdos. But when the contests are over, there’s not a lot left.

That’s because cartoons aren’t just a chance to show off. They’re an opportunity to show yourself and who you really are. That’s better than any contest. And, fortunately, the reward is better too.

If you want to show who you are, then create a cartoon you. If you do, you’re guaranteed to win.

Bikini Betty is Getting A Tan

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Today’s Cartoon of the Day is Bikini Betty. Betty loves to wear her rainbow bikini, but her fair Irish skin used to make it difficult for her to show as much skin as she wanted. Not anymore. With a three hour a day tanning regimen, Betty is able to take in as much sun as she likes. And since tanning booths aren’t cheap, her bikini happens to be the only clothing she has left! Do you want to give your body a vacation- without the risk of hurting your skin? Then create a cartoon now! You don’t even need to worry about SPF.

Is Your Cartoon A Celebrity?

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

After making a cartoon, people always wonder if their cartoons are celebrity cartoons. What makes a cartoon obscure or famous? What makes a cartoon great?

Over the past year, we’ve found that certain cartoons do become “celebrity” cartoons pretty quickly. How do they do it? Simple. They express themselves openly and truthfully. They let the things that are amazing about them show through.

So are you willing to be open enough to be famous? If so, then you’ve got a way to make an amazing cartoon. But one thing a celebrity wouldn’t do is wait.

So hurry, and make a celebrity cartoon today!
