Cartoon Bank
October 5, 2005 in 3 out of 5 stars, A serviceCartoon Bank: An impressive searchable database of 85,000 single pane cartoons pulled from New Yorker Magazine archives, including including all the cartoons ever published in The New Yorker. The Cartoon Bank, a New Yorker Magazine company Entrepreneurs seeking, for instance, to emotionally connect with an audience in a presentation--through humor, can use the site to search among tens of thousands of New Yorker cartoons, download one for $20, and immediately insert it into a powerpoint presentation.
Entrepreneurs can also commission New Yorker artists to create original cartoons for them--cartoons that can be used in all media: web sites, emails, brochures, etc.
It really is a massive collection, and nearly every search I've performed comes up with something. Varies: a cartoon for a presentation is $20, license for 500 printed is $50, several hundred dollars if you want to put one in your next book. Reviewed by Carson McComasWhat is it?

Good stuff. Thanks Carson. Funny thing about AdSense: you have an ad for the cartoon right below your article.
