How to Choose the Right Cartoon
If you’re looking to license or commission cartoons, here are three tips:
-
Make it resonate. The best cartoons reflect something the audience already knows—or feels frustrated by.
-
Stay relevant. Don’t force a cartoon in. It should support your message, not distract from it.
-
Mind the context. What’s clever in a blog post might fall flat in a boardroom presentation. Choose accordingly.
Q&A
Can I use these cartoons in presentations or online content?
Yes, as long as you license them properly. Every cartoon featured here is available for instant licensing through CartoonStock, with options for digital, print, or commercial use.
What if I want a cartoon that matches my brand or message more closely?
That’s where custom commissions come in. If you need a cartoon that reflects a very specific concept or style, you can work directly with CartoonStock artists. See How to Commission Custom Cartoons for Tech Brands for details (coming soon).
Do cartoons work globally?
Yes—when they’re well-drawn and culturally sensitive. Avoid overly text-heavy or niche-joke cartoons if your audience is international.
