Faithmouse self syndication postcard, back-larger image.
Back when Faithmouse was a pro-Christian and pro-conservative apologetic, after the first time the cartoon was rejected by the newspaper syndicates, I decided to take the initiative and syndicate the cartoon myself. I printed and mailed more than two thousand of the above postcards promoting my services to every newspaper in the United States and a few in Canada. I thought I had come up with a pretty clever format in offering a template which would turn any part of a newspaper into a mini-Christian section which could support local advertising. For all my effort I received one positive response, but it was too depressing to syndicate to just one newspaper. I tried the syndicates a few additional times during the course of the next few years before finally throwing in the towel.
I was reflecting back on the many, many efforts I made to see Faithmouse in print, and remembered these cancelled and postmarked cards which were sitting in a cardboard box in my basement.
