Preview: Hear it

Any child who can make a stick figure can learn to create funny cartoonsand this enjoyably illustrated guide tells them exactly how. Written by professional cartoonist Art Roche, it gives kids lots of handson opportunities to turn their creative ideas into delightfully drawn reality. The emphasis is on doing original illustrations and developing a personal vision, rather than tracing or copying someone elses style; after all, cartooning is a free and fun form, so theres no wrong way to draw one. Roche also includes plenty of information that other childrens howto books overlook, including advice on writing jokes, composing panels, and getting published. In short, it addresses every step of the process, from buying a pencil to seeing the cartoons in print.
