How to Draw Cartoons

Clare Briggs was one of the titans of the comic strip in the early 20th century. In this 1926 volume, he explains how to build a career in comics, and how he found the humorous aspects of life that informed such classic strips as When a Feller Needs a Friend and The Days of Real Sport . With over fifty example cartoons, plus added advice from such key cartoonists as H. T. Webster (creator of The Timid Soul ), F. Opper ( Happy Hooligan ), Frank King ( Gasoline Alley ), Winsor McCay (Little Nemo ), and more, this book proved inspirational. Charles Schulz cited this book as leading him down to the road to Peanuts . Out of print for many decades, this collectors’ item is now available again in this complete paperback edition. —- ISBN: 9781949996425
