Now is the time
Never before has the opportunity for success been available for cartoonist. The internet is a great tool. You want to be a cartoonist? Great. Here's how you do it. This is assuming you've got your strip ready to roll.
Get a website. Godaddy will allow you to register your site and offer hosting for a minimal monthly charge. Get a program to build websites (downloads.com has some just do a search for web design) or become familiar with html. Dreamweaver or Frontpage are both great programs but will cost you.
Get your comic uploaded then start visiting forums. Many of them have areas where you can pimp your stuff. Project Wonderful is a great way to get some traffic at a minimal cost as well. If your strip is well done and unique you will start to build a fan base and word of mouth will get around. It'll take a few years to build up a good following but it can be done. And the best part is you can do this in your spare time and still pull in a bankroll from your day job.
