To all our Loyal Readers. First off, we would like to thank everyone for all their support for the last 8 years we have been publishing. Without you, CARtoons would still be a memory. We try our best to keep everyone entertained with each mag released. As we are still trying to reach our budget goals, once we get there, we will definitely make this magazine even better. We are currently working on many side projects to make this happen and even though we want to tell you what these projects are, we were told that we have to wait. It will definitely be worth the wait once we are aloud to give everyone the huge announcements that we have been hinting for a year now. In the meantime, we will continue to provide you with new content from our top artists that will cover all your favorite car cultures. Wait until you see the next cover. We did a major parody movie mix that only the true car fanatics will get. You’re going to love it. Also don’t hesitate to email us at cartoonsmagazine@gmail.com as we would love to hear you thoughts, ideas and feedback. Let us know what you like, what you don’t and what you would love to see more of. We are always opened to new creative ideas. Until then, With tons of love from the entire CARtoons Team!!! Sincerely; Marc Methot - CEO of CARtoons Magazine Inc.

Thank Just want to start by saying that CARtoons is probably the #1 reason I became a graphic artist, thanks for that! Also, back in the '80s, you guys released an issue that featured Christine, and narrated by Mad Max? I think? I seem to remember it being titled 'Christein', as though written with an Aussie accent. Now this may be a weed flashback, but CARtoons was one of the only publications I ever read, and up until an unfortunate accident, I had every issue from May 1978 to mid 90s. I would love that issue, if it actually exists! Thanks! Jeff Thank you for the kind words. The story you are talking about was created by Shawn Kerri. We have been keeping our fingers crossed that one day she will reach out and want to join the CARtoons team once again. We miss Mike as well and are very fortunate to have known him. He will never be forgotten. We do have Mike’s cover issue available for sale on our website. Hope this helps. I'm very interested in subscribing. If I sign up can I make sure to get the Mike Lavallee issue? It would mean allot to me. I so miss going to his shop and helping with the Mike Night live feeds. He and Gary were always talking about your magazine. Thank you so much for making an issue for him. Sincerely, S. Baker OMG, I have just found out you restarted making these. I have not seen them since my last subscription ran out and they sent me some other dump magazines because they ran out of business. So excited to see it back. Do I need to worry about them not getting here . Mad Magazine is doing fine. Should I cancel my subscription do to it not being safe or guaranteed that I will receive what I paid for? I have been watching the mail everyday looking for my escape, now I’m worried I paid for nothing. Please respond. S. Littell As new owners, as long as the support from our readers continue, we are here to stay to provide you with a new issue of the best Comic Book Mag world wide bi-monthly. Thanks for the support.

I was wondering when you will come out with more Iron Ons for sale I love making my own shirts and I love CARtoons? I love making my own shirts and I love CARtoons. A. Valeck As we always mention, it is about the budget. Once we have reached our goals, we will focus on all kinds of CARtoons Merch including Iron-ons. The more support will get us closer to our goals! Marc, & Team, I received my most current order for some more t-shirts and some duplicate items. My subscription poster had a small tear in the middle so I re-ordered that one, and the new ones, and another one with all the TV and movie vehicles from my day. Plus all the variants and more trial issues. Anyway I want to thank you for sending me the signed Trial issue which is #14 of 50 and 14 is one of my lucky #'s since it was my # in sports and some of local Cincinnati players like Pete Rose and Ken Anderson. That's one of the reason I placed this fourth recent order and I see there is some other signed issues I don't think I have yet, so I'll work on an other order for shirts and duplicate items. I have the Prototype and Signed Issue #1 thanks to you as well as some signed posters and stickers. I really really appreciate it. I was reading the latest magazine and I saw on the e-mailed questions that you're working on a new project and curious as to what that could be. The only thing I could think of, was an actual Cartoon, like Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo etc. Krass and Bernie might get their own tv show hmm, The only suggestion I would have is maybe a subscription option where you could pay additional to get a separate poster with your magazine so you can keep the one in the magazine and have one to frame. That's why I bought all the posters too, plus everything else available. Thanks for the Krass and Bernie sticker too. I wish I would have not been so hesitant for years and bought everything when it first came out so I would have all the stickers. I still have to find the time to sit down and put all the magazines in the sleeves with the backers, and then into this neat tote that I bought which has storage for the Iron-On's, stickers, etc... in a separate compartment above. Thanks Again for bringing back the magazine, I'm really glad that I think it was maybe Hasbro that took the first patent for the toys you were going to bring back, and that you got this Patent and ran with it and a lot of artists stepped up too. Super Duper Uper Thankful, T. Boehing, We love gifting our customers. The more you spend, the better the gift. When the time comes, we will announce our big projects we are working on. Thanks for the idea of the poster and will look into that to see if it is within our budget. Appreciate ya!
