MANNER OF SUBMITTING JOKES IN THE ROUGH.
When you have established a reputation in the Art world, you need only to send to the publisher
a rough, unfinished sketch explaining the joke. The editor, being familiar with the style and quality of your drawing, will advise you to proceed with it or inform you that it is not available, in which case you are out only the little time the sketch has cost you.
THE ARTIST, AND HIS IMPORTANCE..
WHEN you seek the approval of publishers, don't try to convince the person to whom you submit your sketches that they are the best lot of drawings ever offered for publication. Remember this person is an apt critic, hired for the purpose of selecting the most desirable work for publication. He may be the Art Editor. If so, his opinion is law in the Art Department.
If your drawings are rejected it does not signify' that your work is not up to the standard. The Art Department may have sufficient material on hand for several issues. In that case, try other publishers. Write your full name and address upon the back of every drawing and enclose stamps for their return.
THE ART EDITOR.
An Artist at any stage of his career, approaching an art editor with a degree of modesty, will meet with due courtesy. Don't insist upon an immediate inspection of your drawings. An art editor is usually a busy sort of man, who jumps from one joke to another without rest. He looks upon original drawings as so much merchandise. Unless he has ample time to study the drawing and joke and the space it will occupy in the paper, he cannot give them the consideration necessary on short notice, and consequently they are turned down when a few days' delay might make them available.
