About
My cartoon thing is about sharing my doodles, simple illustrations, comics (call them what you will) in the hope that it lifts hearts, raises smiles and hopefully – in those golden moments – wets underpants.
I'm Megan Hills. Self-taught scribbler and doodler.
I've spent much of my adult life wandering about in different careers: barista (and I don't even drink coffee), art gallery manager, voice-over 'talent' (yes, they call us that…God knows why), hospital IT phone support (that was scary – for everyone), library assistant, advertising sales hustler, art museum security officer in Italy ('Non toccare!' means 'Don't touch!', but try telling an Italian male that), graphic designer, magazine production editor, marketing officer for a funky craft and design NGO, bookshop assistant, and more. I'm 167 years old.
The permission thing
For permission to reprint Hills/My Cartoon Thing cartoons, please contact Megan Hills at My Cartoon Thing.
There is generally a charge to reprint Hills/My Cartoon Thing cartoons – to cover the time involved in processing requests, the cost of supplying quality images and because artists (and doodlers) should be paid for their work so they can eat and stuff.
Rates are variable dependent on circumstances, and exceptions may be made (e.g. for activist campaigns). Permission is only granted on the proviso that the cartoons are not changed in any way – not cropped, stretched or squashed; nothing is added to or deleated from the words; the characters are not transformed or multiplied or expunged, the circumstances depicted are not manipulated, etc. Copyright for the cartoons will always remain with Megan Hills.
