To all our Loyal Readers. First off, we would like to say “Happy New Year” to all our loyal readers of CARtoons. We have some huge projects lined up for the CARtoons brand this year and it is tough not to share any of the exciting news until we are giving a green light to do so. What we can share with you is that we are working on locking in a future CARtoons Cover created by the “Chip Foose”. You read that correctly. Expect a Foose Cover, CARtist Spotlight and also a guest appearance from the legend himself in one of our 2023 issues. We are definitely excited and honored to have Chip join CARtoons. Also we can’t believe we have reached Issue 43 and we hope you enjoyed it as much as any of our past issues. We will continue to provide that CARtoons entertainment you patiently wait for every second month to read. 2023 is the year CARtoons blows up and we will always appreciate your support that helped us get here. With tons of love from the entire CARtoons Team!!! Sincerely; Marc Methot - CEO of CARtoons Magazine Inc.

Hi, I enjoyed issue 35 very much (Edison and Ford). What happened to Ratfink? Also, I noted that Nitro Billy’s Garage was not in the current issue. I’m an older reader and fondly remember Unc and the varments. Regards for a great magazine, D. Cross Rat Fink has temporary been pulled out of CARtoons by the rightful owners. We hope Rat Fink will be back soon as we don't know the outcome. As for Nitro Billy, this was only for one issue. We highly suggest to contact Drag Daddy by email to tell him how much you love his Nitro Billy comic strip. Ben will love that! I used to read cartoons magazine when I was a kid but can't remember what age I was or if it was age appropriate at the time. My nephew is 8 years old and really into cars, trucks, and drawing. Is the magazine OK for someone his age? No objectionable content that would get it banned in Florida if you know what I mean? Thank you and glad to see you are publishing once again, Bob Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your story. If it wasn’t for our readers support, CARtoons would still be just a memory. Cheers as we just reached Issue 43. Time flies! Very Impressed always with your art covers and stories. I worked for Gov for years in graphic design of all types and levels. Started at 13 airbrushing as a youngster, T-shirt screen printing was next and then sports marketing for a while and then nuclear safety in Ottawa. I was quite happy to see CARtoons is a Canadian Magazine. I am a few hours away near Pembroke. I first was a Snoopy Charles Shultz fan as a kid like many other artists but "Metal Hurlant - Heavy Metal” was all part of my influence to get into art in my teens. I was doing art projects from the early age of 15. HotRod Mag to many comics inspired many projects. I have always been influenced by my father who was into skiing, cars and bikes. So I will do my best for the subscription aspect and maybe share some art in the near future. Great magazine keep it up and all the best! J. Isabelle Our main goal since day one was to have CARtoons as family friendly as possible for all ages to read and we have stuck by that. You will have no objections to your 8 year old nephew reading the best car culture comic book mag worldwide.

Thank Hello, as a kid alooooooong time ago I used to read and loved this magazine. I picked up issue 26 today and glad I did. I checked the website out for back issues and want to get them but instead of me going one by one in the cart. do you have a total price for issues 1 to present and then I can just pay that way with my PayPal account and catch with my past. Thank you. J. McCartney We do have bundle sets on our website where you can save more instead of buying individually. We also have new prices where you choose the condition of the magazine with prices starting at $3.99 USD & Up.

Hey guys, hope I'm not to late renewing my sub scription. Was hoping to enter your mag cover contest. Ordered some iron-ons, the last I put on came out Awesome! Man, took me back and I felt like watching Thunder the Barbarian or Jonny Quest cartoons. Thanks for the reminders. Let me know if everything is ok. Thanks, God Bless and Be Safe dudes. W. Figueroa

Thanks for all your support. Our cover contest was definitely amazing and we think it is time for another one for 2023. Stay tuned!

CARtoons is a bi-monthly magazine so you will receive 6 issues annually. Shipping can be a pain at times as 99.9% of subscribers magazines do show up, some being very late. We always ask for patience. Hey guys I've been reading cartoons since the '80s when I was in school. I just started a subscription with y'all back in May 2020 and I was wondering how many issues for a one-year subscription?. I've been doing the 29.99 Subscription. I've been looking through some of the back issues and I feel like I'm missing a few. I'm just wondering it's all. Thank you guys for putting on an awesome magazine. C. Vorce
