We encourage some free use of cartoons

You may download our cartoons for posting on bulletin boards, displaying on small labor friendly web sites, hanging on refrigerators, including in teacher handouts and leaving on your boss's desk (discreetly of course).
Pass them around to your friends. Heck, pass them around to your enemies. All for absolutely no charge.
