Yah i quit work twice to work on my own strip . generally to get syndicated will take 3 years . I worked on mine for six months 7 days a week and 12 to 18 hours each day and then mailed it off . Got some good feed back from other cartoonists and offers to do lettering for a couple of strips . The Washington Post sat on my work for 9 months - I gather they looked at it a couple of times . I have a real terse rejection letter around here someplace - I was told by a couple of well known cartoonist that this was unusual and that I must be on the right track . Unfortunately I went back to teaching for 6 months and am still at it 23 years later. Brook Breathed was working for the Post at the time . yah got one guess what the name of Brook,s strip was . Mine starts with R I am tempted to paint comic strips and sell them . Imagine a Peanuts strip done in oil or Opus .
