The Argus Leader says they are looking for political cartoonists. I guess they are tired of paying syndicated cartoonists. I sent the editorial page editor these questions:

Chuck-

I see you are accepting guest political cartoons. I have a few questions;

1) How much does it pay per cartoon?

2) Does the artist retain copyright?

3) Will the cartoon be edited before it goes to press?

Your answers would be appreciated.

 ANSWER:

Scott,

We envision treating these as we do letters to the editor. No pay. I don’t know how copyright works. Editing? Hadn’t thought about it.
