The Butler
A new gag cartoon series idea...
After creating the above gag cartoon about a butler dealing with an eccentric wealthy family, I couldn’t resist making more.
Working with children for many years as a teacher has given me extensive experience to draw on.
I started getting The Addams Family vibes, then made two more in which our service hero, The Butler, tries to keep it together while serving the family’s every whim.
I submitted them all to The New Yorker magazine and received the standard rejection, which doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, but not for them.
So, you get to read them and give me your reviews.
Should I make more gag cartoons about our service hero in the future?
Please share your thoughts in the comments.






I thought the first one was funny. Kid basically wants only two pieces of crustless bread. Actually the crust is the best part in my humble opinion. They are funny, but I could never do a job like that, especially with two spoiled kids like that. I like it.
I love it!
