CARtoons Magazine Issue #51 2024

To all our Loyal Readers. Unfortunately, this will be the last issue available in retail stores. We have always appreciated the support from you that have purchased off the newsstands, but their just hasn’t been enough sales to keep them available in retail stores. The newsstand is a sinking ship and we have to jump before it brings us under. So if you have been buying from your local retail store and wish to continue reading CARtoons, you will either have to start ordering CARtoons from comic book shops or jump on an annual CARtoons subscription. Maybe down the road once the world knows CARtoons is back to help with higher sales, we might reconsider getting CARtoons back into retail stores, but until then, to keep us going financially, this decision had to be made for the survival of this magazine. We hope you understand as our main goal is to keep this magazine going for many years to come which now will be by subscriptions, by ordering from comic book shops or purchasing from our website. You can email us at cartoonsmagazine@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for understanding. As for our big side projects, we have nothing written in stone as of yet. We keep pushing everyday and once we lock one of these projects in, we will let you all know and celebrate together! With tons of love from the entire CARtoons Team!!! Sincerely; Marc Methot - CEO of CARtoons Magazine Inc. I would like to know what you mail magazines in if I subscribe. My mail carrier here folds my magazines. I have asked them to stop, but its how there taught which ruins the magazine. Do you ship in a rigid mailer or in something that might at least say do not bend? Thanks R. Roehl The only extra step we do when shipping to subscribers is that we put them in envelopes with “Do Not Bend” stamped on them. Any other extras, drives prices way up. Marc, I just received the back issues and the issues you warrantied today which brings me up to date with every issue you have published so far. Thank you very much and I will continue to subscribe and share your Magazine with car enthusiasts that I know and work with. I am fortunate to work in the Wholesale Tire Distribution Industry as a Director of IT for the last three years, loving the car culture environment I am immersed in. As a kid spending time at the cottage in Parry Sound, Ontario, it was a tradition to go to the local small Hobby Shop I believe it was called Smokey Joe's In Parry Sound and pick up a copy of CARtoons Magazine. It was one of the few places back in the 1970's that carried the publication. Thank-you for resurrecting this Magazine as it brings back great memories of my childhood with my cousins and trying to draw cars like in the magazine. Sorry for being nostalgic but there aren't many things from the past that are worth bringing back except for classic cars and CARtoons Magazine. Keep up the great work and if you are ever in need of Tires don't hesitate to reach out. N. Jalsevac

Thank Fantastic magazine, keep up the good work! Love the art work! I checked my account subscription and noticed I can download issues #48-50, previously, I downloaded issues #42-44 back in 3/2023. I can't seem to locate a means to download the in between issues, #45-47. Is there anyway this can be accomplished? On a similar note, can I download or somehow pay for the earlier issues, 1-41? I am seeking the electronic version, not the hard copy. Thanks in advance. D. Clinton

At this time, we can only have up to 2 digital issues at a time on our website cause the files are so large, it caused our old website to crash. We are working on a better solution to support all digital back issues.

Hello Marc, Thanks so much for this promo, I was hoping I made the first 25. Love your swag and of course the magazine is something I look forward to every other month. I would really like the t-shirt with the Willy coupe on the back but I know they have been sold out for awhile now. The Cartoons silver edition in a mens small will be very appreciated and worn at Cars and Coffee here in Richmond,Va. Cheers! E. Conwell

We always love having promo deals. Our future goal is to have more shirt options once we are fully established. The world needs to know we are back for to help the budget.

Hello I placed a subscription order with you and a small list of other items as well, but I'm an old fan from the late 60's/70's and must have drawn hundreds of amateur car sketches in my youth during that period. So, it's under that nostalgic vein that I would love to promote and post a linked add from our site to yours to help y'all sell some subs and merch if that's something you're kool with? If not for any reason no problem as I'll not do anything until I hear form you on the matter. B. Molokai Absolutely Every bit helps to get the word out that CARtoons is back to print. We hear it everyday that people still don’t know it is back. So thank you!

Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your memories of CARtoons. We will definitely keep you in mind because who doesn’t need tires! Thanks again for all your support.
