You want to sell the ideas for cartoons, but not draw the cartoons
yourself?  Thanks.

I have ideas only, I can't draw

Hi! You may want to refer to an answer I did in the past.

The way editorial cartoonists work probably prohibits them from
accepting ideas from outside sources. They work fast and under
deadline and don't have much time to coordinate freelance gag men.

Other cartoonists...those who do syndicated comic strips very often
use outside writers although many of them retain staff writers
nowadays. In the old days it was very common for cartoonists to accept
jokes from freelance gag writers (much like the old stand-up comics
who would buy joke for a few bucks)

It sounds like you should just teach yourself to draw. After some
practice (and maybe a course or two), your drawing probably won't be
worse than some of the editorial cartoonists already working!
