This is what it looked like around here this morning when I opened my email and learned that one of my cartoon submissions had been accepted for publication…
I started creating and submitting cartoons to publications back in September 2017. A year and a half might seem like a long time to break in, but in the world of cartooning, it’s actually relatively short. And so I also did this happy dance…
Truth be told, I figured that if I ever got published (I wasn’t getting discouraged – just trying to keep realistic), I might get picked up by one of the smaller publications who pay between $25 – $40 per cartoon. This is what getting 3 figures for your first published cartoon looks like…
For now, I’m keeping further details of the magazine and publication date under wraps, but I promise to share more when I can. In the meantime, there are still a handful of Joana Miranda Studio 2018 Cartoon Calendars available for sale. And even though I’m now famous (ha!), the calendars are still just $18.50 each. For more information, take a look here.
Wow! Quite a little dance going on there- I can just see you!!!
YAY for Joana Miranda!
(who I love) MM.
Hi Mm,
So glad that you could be part of the excitement! (What if you had still be in Mexico…what would I have done?) I hope my wait for getting another cartoon published isn’t as long, but I’ll be riding the high of this success for a little while now. 🙂
I lurve you! J

Woohoo, good for you!
Thanks, Dearie!
I don’t remember being this excited for quite some time. Maybe my life has gotten humdrum? Even though I wasn’t feeling defeated, getting published did see like it might be an impossibility. Now I’m eager to crank out even more cartoons.
Are you getting a lot of snow this week? My mom said she’s supposed to get 8″ of snow on Friday. Meanwhile, here it will be 60 and raining all day. Sigh.

Congratulations!! what an accomplishment! Can’t wait to hear the details.
Hi D,
Thanks so much! I’m so excited and am still pinching myself especially since the folks at this magazine have been super efficient, ultra-professional and very nice. (I think they’re the exception, not the rule!)
Looking forward to seeing you hopefully soon. 🙂
