Political Cartoons... Or Comics?

I have taken inspiration from The New Yorker's one panel political cartoons, and have been making my own. So far I have made, I estimate, more than 200 of them! Each school day I typically make at least 4, and sometimes I even make 12 in one day! When I make these comics, I show them to teachers, and it usually makes them laugh a good, heartfelt laugh, which is one of my favorite sounds. Right up there with cat purring and the "ding!" of hitting someone with a bow from long range in Minecraft pc. So far today I have already met my minimum quota of 4 comics. I want to have a career in my comics, and maybe make some extra money off my recent, and random books. Random stuff, winging it, that sort of thing is what I am great at. In my recent short novel (The Random Oval), most of the comedy comes from my descriptions of the chaotic and spontaneous randomness, ever looming over whatever could be so much as a hint of a plot, and drowning it in a sea of motorcycle nuns, roomba sharks, and who knows what else!
