and a google --> cartoonist salary got me
swz salary ranger -- 49 to 54k

they seem to lump animators with cartoonists

and these ranges are American. animators are outsourced any more and the salaries are dirt cheap ... we are talking < 15k

hope this helps.

Top end? Some, like Peanuts creator, Charles Schultz, and the crators of Garfield, Family Circus and The Far Side, have become millionairs. It is not just the cartoons on paper that make the artist money. More money is available in licensing books, stickers, coffee mugs and calandars than in drawing cartoon strips.

For details, do a Google search for "Cartoonist, syndication, licensing"
