More than two decades of funny business
Founded in 1997 in Bath, England, CartoonStock was the first searchable cartoon archive on the web, created to help professional cartoonists license their extensive back catalogs. Over its first two decades, we've grown into a trusted licensing platform used by creative teams and communicators around the world.

In 2018, CartoonStock was acquired by longtime New Yorker Cartoon Editor and CartoonBank.com founder Bob Mankoff, along with cartoon enthusiast and philanthropist Lawrence Benenson.

That acquisition added thousands of legendary cartoons to the archive from The New Yorker, Esquire, The Wall Street Journal, WIRED, National Lampoon, Barron’s, The American Bystander, The Weekly Humorist, Narrative Magazine, and more.

Whether you need a single cartoon or an ongoing supply of standout visual content, we’re here to help.
