A press kit is a prepackaged set of promotional material. In the case of comic strips, press kits often include sample strips, a page with sketches and brief bios of main characters, a bio of the cartoonist, and contact information for the agent, contained in or printed on an illustrated custom folder or packet.
The Cartoon Press Kits Collection consists of press kits for a number of popular comic strips. Not all kits are complete, many consisting only of the illustrated printed folder. Strips represented include Get Fuzzy (Darby Conley) and Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson).
None.
