Naturally all the cartoons are copyright. But it's surprising how accommodating us artists are with the use of low resolution versions of our work providing you ask permission and are not making money or other capital out of us and you credit the artist concerned. Enjoy and thanks for visiting. Cheers Alan. 

Many ways to explore the site.
