I took a break from cartooning for a few years and have recently gone back. I am now attempting to syndicate myself to newspapers on my own. Wish me luck. More of my funny cartoons are on my website at http://www.normandcompany.com/

Hmm, my company firewall blocks the site with 'Spyware Concerns'
It alerts me too.
Hehe. Some of those had me laughing out loud to myself in the Library... Good stuff.
Best of luck!
Those are better than most of the comics I see in the papers these days. Good stuff man!
Are they written with English as your first language? The writing seems a little clumsy. Premises could be funny.
Then, this is not the critics lounge.
Very interesting! I lol'd (or bette, I smiled) to myself while reading them. Way more subtle and interesting than the average (web)comig.

I'd second this. Comics in the papers these days suck! Not to imply that you are just above the level of sucking.... I'd put you somewhere between Bizarro and Dilbert, which from my perspective is decent to good. The problem with comics is consistency. Even a crappy comic can get a chuckle out of me once in a while, but it's only the good ones that make you laugh every single time. Is this a random sample of your work, or just the highlights? If these are just your latest run-of-the-mill outings I think you've got a serious shot at being syndicated, since your work is easily better than 3/4 of the crap in the papers. They'll probably give you some crap about readers being attached to the characters they can relate to, but I swear if Tina keeps that clueless ditz Monica in her friendship circle a minute longer I'll -ah, there I go ranting again. I say the world needs more one-liner comics!
EDIT: I read a random sample of comics from your site and I'm going to up my fanboy status from "probably read your stuff" to "definitely read your stuff". You've got the seventh sense, brother! (That is, the sense of humour). Good luck getting syndicated.

Dude you shouldn't say your "funny cartoons". Not cool. Unless you're a spam-borg.
Good luck tho, hope you get a job in the papers!
