Issue 7 of Cartoon Cuties has been released.

Now, this is the turning point for the franchise. To step up release of the title and clear my back-log of materials ready to go for the next dozen issues, InDELLible gave me it's blessing to publish the series independently. I HAD a business partner lined up for this, but they had to back out due to time and schedule problems. So for the series to go forward, I need a business partner who can letter and edit future issues, publish them through Amazon in the manner of the existing issues, and then from any profits in sales pay me half. I figure it's a roughly 50-50 effort, as I provide all the artwork and the scripts. I'm rather protective of my vision, so my business partner needs to be willing to let me have the final say about the contents of the book. That said, our partnership should be a fun one, given what we'll be doing. This is only the ground floor of the franchise, after all. My initial plan is to get the back-logged issues 8-20, and a couple spin-off one-shots, on the market as fast as we can get each issue ready. (Then, after those are in print and I'm caught up on what I wrote four years ago, I'll be free to start writing new issues... I do hope it's clear that I intend to retain creative control over the franchise.) So, if you want to see the franchise keep going beyond issue 7, I'll need to find that business partner. Maybe you, or someone you know, has the skill and the time to invest in what will eventually be a break-out franchise? If the idea seriously interests you, drop me a line. Don't let the series end at nine books and 31 cartoons. It's capable of so much more. I can be contacted through Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bakercartoons
