To all our Loyal Readers. Another issue completed and we hope you liked this latest issue #52. With your support by making purchases, spreading the word and sharing our social media posts, your support will definitely help keep us around for many more years to come. We are still trying to get one of our big projects locked in because once we do resulting in a much larger budget, then there will be more variety in merchandise, the magazine itself will get better and hopefully the licensing deals will come in resulting in more CARtoons products to be sold retail. Our goal is to become a full household name once again and we will not give up until we reach that goal. Your support has helped us along the way to get us there and we will always appreciate you because of it. As for future issues, we are working on a few leads to have some very unique special guests in future issues. One hint we can give is if all works out, expect a “Heavy Metal” themed Issue of CARtoons. Now this will be cool. So keep those fingers crossed as we continue to move forward! Until next issue, keep on CARtoon’n! With tons of love from the entire CARtoons Team!!! Sincerely; Marc Methot - CEO of CARtoons Magazine Inc.

Thank is a coupon available, so I’m hoping you can help us get these bundled packs available to us. We can provide a state side address or our Japan address as well. Thank you for helping our son here in Japan. B. Backus Thank you for getting the young generation into CARtoons. Would be super cool one day to have CARtoons available in stores worldwide. We will see what the future brings. All back issues are available on our website and we do ship worldwide. Hope all this helps. Hello. I’m a retired Sheriff living in Japan as a missionary. We serve the US military near the Marine Corps Base in Iwakuni. While home on this summer we found issue #28 at a book store for our 10 year old son. I’m wondering how we can get the poster edition bundles. He absolutely loves cars and now your magazine. I see there

Will you ever get the gray 2 sided t-shirt and black 2019 design XL back in stock???... please.. please D. Goller

Unfortuntely our shirt deisgns are limited. As our budget grows, new limited designs will follow so always check back on our website once in a while to see what is new.

Shipping to Canada gets costly and of course you can see it in the price for subscriptions. Try a comic shop near you and ask them to start ordering CARtoons from the "Previews Catalog". Shipping came to $80 per year. Given that shipping in the US is free, I thought there must be mistake. Can you please advise if that is correct, or if there is an option for more reason shipping rates for the printed edition in Canada. Thank you and regards, T. Corbin Dear Cartoons, As a big fan of your magazine as a child, I was excited when I discovered your magazine back on the shelf of my local newsstand about a year ago. I especially love the ‘How to draw’ segments and would love to see special editions for How To Draw. I have been wanting to subscribe for a while and the unfortunate decision to cease newsstand sales prompted me to take the steps to finally get around to doing so, but I ran into a snag… When completing the subscription, the total for print editions before shipping was about $42 Canadian per year. While that seemed reasonable, I was happy to support the magazine, the total including Hey guys. Happy to see the books back in print. Im an old hand at car art, shirt printing and magazine publishing. Some of which was started from picking up Cartoons Mag at Albertson’s Grocery Store magazine rack in HB california. It is great to know i can find more, but…… do you ship to france? K.Middleton We love stories how CARtoons inspired those that grew up reading CARtoons. To answer your question, YES! We ship worldwide and have every back issue available on our website at cartoonsmag.com

As a 72 year old subscriber and enthusiast, I’m grateful to have rediscovered your fine mag and relive my teens. I’ve always been a huge fan of Trosley and fashioned some of my cartoons after his. Thank goodness the printed word is still available and we can enjoy our youth. How about some tunes on inline sixes, especially the slant sixes? Is it possible? Take care and keep printing a “boss” mag. G. Platz

When it comes to CARtoons, anything is pssoible. Thanks for sharing your story!

Hello CARtoons Magazine! Here is a PDF File of some art (Pg. # ) I did last night and I would like to submit it to you to see if it can be printed in one of your fantastic issues. Please inform me if you decide to print it so that I can watch for it and thank you for the opportunity. I grew up loving your Magazine and I love it to this day! Thanks, J. Robison Of course we love to share our fans artwork for all the CARtoons readers to see. Keep them coming because you never know when your artwork could get published foir the whole world to see.
