Looking for a Terrific Paying Market for Humor and Cartoons?
Check out The Funny Times
The Funny Times is a print magazine with a circulation of 70,000 that has published nothing but humor since 1985. They’ve been running my own work for almost that long and I can report that they are a pleasure to work with.
The Funny Times pays $75 for written humor and $30 — $50 for each cartoon, plus a free subscription to the magazine.
Best of all? They use reprints!
You can send them originals before you post them on Medium — but they’ll be just as happy to run something hilarious after you’ve posted it on Medium.
And? They only purchase the one-time, non-exclusive right to publish. You retain copyright to the work and are free to publish it elsewhere.
What Are They Looking For?
Here’s what their guidelines say:
Our print publication pokes fun at politics, news, relationships, food, technology, pets, work, death, environmental issues, business, religion (yes, even religion) and the human condition in general. Not much is off limits, so do your best to make us laugh. Plus we’re advertising free, so whatever we like, we use.
