To all our Loyal Readers. We hope you had an amazing holiday season and happy new year! 2024 will be the year for CARtoons full success. For the last 8 years, our biggest challenge has been that the majority don’t know that CARtoons is back to print. So we are working on multiple projects to change that. One being this issue you have just read. This issue will be revised into a book and will be presented to the School Book Fairs. Once accepted, CARtoons will be available in schools across the USA and Canada which will help get into the hands of CARtoons original readers. You support means a lot and helps us grow to be around for many more years to come. Keep spreading the word and support anyway you can. We love ya! Also, we are announcing Trosley’s retirement which was coming since the legend is 76 years old. What does this mean for the magazine?, Well we are working on alternatives to keep Krass & Bernie alive in CARtoons and even Deuce & Pinstripe. More updates will follow once we have a solid answer. Trosley will always be a legend in our hearts and it has been amazing experience to ride along with his adventures with the popular duo. For now, CARtoons continues on! With tons of love from the entire CARtoons Team!!! Sincerely; Marc Methot - CEO of CARtoons.

Thank Hello. My twin brother Roy and I were way into Cartoons magazine when we were kids and were very happy when it came back a few years ago. Sadly, Roy passed away in November of 2020 and left behind 3 sons. I had Mark Arnold do a drawing of him in his last Mopar, a 70 Superbee, and had printed and framed copies of it for all the boys and my kids for Christmas in 2021 and they absolutely loved them. Last year when designing his headstone his sons and I decided to use the drawing Mark did and are very happy how it turned out. Mark said he had submitted the drawing to Cartoons magazine and I have been getting a copy every month since hoping to see it. NOV 25 will be 3 years since he passed and I was hoping to get you to put either Marks print or the picture of it used on the headstone or both in your great magazine’s issue closest to Christmas as a tribute to Roy so I can give copies of the magazine to the boys as a Christmas gift. Thank you for your consideration! T. Watkins We are sorry for your loss and always appreciate our fans support. Even though we missed your Christmas request, to show our respects, we granted your request as you will find that artwork on page 19. We hope you like it. Marc, I received my hardcopy of # 46 and # 47, but my downloads page is still on #45. It did have #46 for a while, which I downloaded, but I have not seen #47 yet.Is it on its way or can you add it? Can't believe we are almost at 50! Great job. Thank you, kindly, D. Carter Hi, I noticed you have varying grades of each back issue ranging from damaged cover to hand picked best condition. My question is regarding the damaged cover. My 8 year old son wants to buy some back issues with his own money he saved from selling his drawings. How bad of shape are the damaged covers. Are you referring to a minor blemish or a shredded cover. I want to make sure he's not buying something that looks like it belongs in the garbage. Can you send me a picture of what you consider a damaged cover magazine? Thank you. J. Renkema on behalf of Jackson We love that your son is not only a reader of CARtoons, but he also draws to fund reading our mag. As for our cover conditions, we will never sell a torn and completely damaged issue to our customers. You won’t be disppointed. Each digital issue release, we will reset al subscribers accounts and send out an email. Some accounts to reset for some reason, so we also suggest to email us to get it reset.

Dear Marc, The customer care at your magazine is TOP SHELF! Thank you so much for your help and assistance with this. I began buying this magazine subscription for my 10-year-old son 3 years ago and he looks forward to your mailings every 8 weeks! Thank you for everything especially your help yesterday. Have a great week and a wonderful holiday! Sincerely, C. Brouillette We do our best to fix any problems that of course are fixable.We thank you for your support and appreciation. And we always love to hear that the young generation reads our mag. This magazine helped me learn to draw when l was a kid. I'm 50 now, wish l could still buy it at a store. Are there anyone carrying it in LasVegas? I would love to show it to my two sons. Thank you. T. McKay You best option is to head to our website @ cartoonsmag.com and click on where to buy. Put in your zip/postal code and it will show you stores near you that sell CARtoons. Plus all comic shops can order CARtoons through “Previews” Catalog. We hope you find a way to get your eye fixed as we appreciate your support by reading CARtoons. If it wasn’t for you and those that read it, we would still be just a memory. Hi, for years I been collecting your magazine and been inspired. I am an artist or atleast try to be. I lost my vision in my right eye and it takes a little longer to get my vision out, but through all the stress and pain I still create. I wanted to thank you for the art and the story lines. I try to read them, but sometimes its hard to do, but thanks anyway .I miss last years issue due to the eye and was bummed out that I couldnt get them, but I tried to order them and was out of luck so I will miss that year I guess. No worries, life does go on, lol. Just know I been a huge fan and George Trosley is my hero and savior through the tough time losing my eye. His drawings and his craft got me through it so. Thanks, forever a fan, Errol
