Our Mission
We believe that everyone deserves to have a voice and that the world is a better place when we listen, share and build community through our opinion. Our mission is to give every cartoonist a voice and express them in the world.
Our values
Our values are based on three essential freedoms that define who we are.
Freedom of Expression
We believe people should be able to express freely, share opinions, foster open dialogue, and that creative freedom leads to new voices, formats, and possibilities.
Freedom of Information
We believe everyone should have easy, open access to information and that cartoon is a powerful force for education, building understanding, and documenting world events, big and small.
Freedom of Opportunity
We believe everyone should have a chance to be discovered, build an audience and succeed on their terms, and that people, decide how they want to express their creativity.
Toons Mag is owned and operated by Arifur Rahman ENK (a Sole proprietorship company based on Norway), and Supported by The Freedom of Speech Foundation (Fritt Ord), Norway.

"Toons Mag is a major magazine with online graphic humor. The cartoon is respected and admired around the world. We need publications like this to enhance the value of cartoonists and the labor market. A great showcase! I am grateful to participate in the issues."

"What I like about Toons Mag is that it has freely accepted my freedom of expression. Through brainstorming cartoon ideas on drawing pages, it has brought me closer to cartoonists I never knew existed. To me, Toons Mag is a galaxy of cartoonists that share their thoughts. It has made me grow in terms of creativity."

About the Publisher
I planed to start a cartoon magazine in 2007 in print media. In 2008, I attempted to start the magazine, but I could not make it happen because of my economic crisis. In 2009, I started on the internet.
I felt I should do something for the world, and I wanted to start a platform for cartoonists because it means something to me.
