Reviews

[Phil Witte · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a well-known book that will help beginner cartoonists understand the business of cartoons. The book includes plenty of nuts and bolts advice about submitting cartoons for publication and how syndication works. That said, some of the advice is dated, owing to the contraction in the newspaper and magazine industries.

[Shanejohnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must-read for all cartoonists.
