PAGE ONE OF TWO PAGES, FOR EDITORS ONLY!

This page isn’t linked on the main site, so bookmark it for convenience.  And if you’re interested in the strange exciting world of California life, that “best of” page is over here. (New Yorker magazine type cartoons are over here.)

Below are some of my favorite cartoons that might be perfect for your hungry readers.  Right now I’m selling to Slate, Yahoo! News, Daily News, Orange County Register and San Fran Chronicle, as well as CalWatchDog.  I can sell any rights to all the cartoons.

I email high-res new cartoons every week. If you want to be on my weekly mailing list – and all the best papers do – just drop me a line!

I tend to be conservative, but not as obviously as Lisa Benson, nor as rabid as Glenn McCoy. My cartoons appeal to an educated, sometimes sophisticated (or silly!) demographic -the New Yorker reader. (Editorial page readers have the highest education, according to NAA.)  And note how legible they are – they fit in a small space (500 px) very well, either online or in print.

Feel free to comment below or send a personal email to donnabarstow@gmail.com. And thanks so much for looking! I really appreciate your time and attention.

The second page of my best cartoons is HERE.

I do both color and black and white for each cartoon. If you are a newspaper editor, you may buy them singly, or get a weekly subscription – just ask for prices. What a deal!

Below are comments by other editors.

Her work is unique in both style and viewpoint, as she strives to create cartoons that are relevant, unusual, and very pointed (and often quite hilarious). She is unafraid to make waves, and she’s a colorful and welcome addition to our lineup.
Shena Wolf, Editor
Slate Cartoons, Universal Press Syndicate

She captures the essence of complex political debates with a sense of flair that gives our site real distinction. Her cartoons have a whimsical nature that make them genuinely unique but they also make a serious point. We’re thrilled to run her work on calwatchdog.com.

There is absolutely no way to improve this wonderful, wonderful cartoon…glorious non-sequitur…lunatic genius.

To be honest, I encouraged her to continue sending me things because I enjoyed her toons, though I always felt a little guilty because I had no need or budget to buy more toons. What drew me in particular was that while her subjects were always timely, they rarely coincide with the topic of the day that most of the country’s editorial cartoonists seemed to follow. After we lost our cartoonists, I started picking up her toons as often as our budget and need allowed.

LA Daily News Editorial Page Editor

Before you soak in the stunning imagery in this special issue of West, please turn back to page 5, if you missed it. That’s where one of my favorite pieces of art resides.
I am referring to Donna Barstow’s cartoon, Fault Lines…Each week, Barstow not only gets me to smile, she provides a peek into the absurdity of life here. She makes me see this place if not altogether differently, at least a bit more clearly. She is, in that way, both lighthearted and a light.
Rick Wartzman, Editor West Magazine, Los Angeles Times in his Editor’s page!

I’ve started to look forward to Donna Barstow’s comics. They’re always odd, and they often don’t make immediate sense, but they stand out.
You could replace most of the cartoonists here with an Automated Editorial Cartoon Machine and no one would notice the difference, but no machine could replicate some of the comics that Barstow has drawn.
