Who makes it?

CartoonStock Ltd

Why is it the killerest?

Similar to CartoonBank.com, however where CartoonBank represents work that has been published in the New Yorker Magazine, around 100 artists in all, CartoonStock represents around 300 artists worldwide, has twice as many images searchable on-line and represents a wider variety of art and humor styles. You can also syndicate a cartoon to your own site and get affiliate revenue if visitors click over from it and buy something. You can send free "e-greeting cards."

What could be improved?

The site is quite unattractive and somewhat hard to use, something they claim to be working on soon. The director had this to say to me about it "We will shortly be redesigning the entire site and enhancing the services and range of images on offer."

How much does it cost?

About $12.00 for classroom educational use, $32 for presentations, $44 for a non-commercial website. (more here)
