A great do-it-yourself book for anyone who loves cartooning!
30 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Veteran cartoonist Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Boner's Ark, Hi & Lois, plus founder of the Museum of Cartoon Art) has penned an easy-to-read, well-illustrated book on cartooning. It's humorous and accessible for anyone who's ever doodled in notebooks (or textbooks!) and wanted to make their silly drawings look more like real comics. Mort's book breaks down the basic iconography of expression for funny drawings, and he does it in plain English and pencil-friendly drawings. Highly recommended for serious cartoonists and amateur doodlers alike, even kids!

iconography at its best
3 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
The idea of this book is very simple yet brilliant. It provide names and classification to all the little drawings, symbols and expressions used in graphic novels and comic books. A must read for everybody engaged with the comic book business. Love it !!

A good reference

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent collection of information... it "speaks" the language of cartooning! This may not be a huge volume on the subject but if you plan on a career in cartooning or if you're just a serious amateur you'll want this book.
