Adventures in Cartooning #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the first volume of the Adventures in Cartooning series, a playful and educational graphic novel that teaches the fundamentals of cartooning through a whimsical story. Originally published by First Second in 2009, it follows a young knight and a magical elf as they embark on a quest, with each page introducing core concepts like panel layout, character design, and storytelling techniques. The book is designed to inspire budding artists and readers alike, blending instruction with entertainment.
"Once Upon a Time..." in Adventures in Cartooning #nn (2009) brings together the talents of James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederick-Frost in a playful, self-aware tale where Dr. Inkenstain’s bizarre experiment fuses three cartoonists into one three-headed creator—only for their collaborative comic to become a sharp, humorous reflection on the craft itself. The story, written and illustrated by the trio, is a clever meta-commentary on storytelling and artistic identity, all rendered with the distinctive style that defines the series.
When Dr. Inkenstain fuses three cartoonists into one three-headed artist to create a comic about himself, the resulting creative chaos leads to an unexpected masterpiece—*Adventures in Cartooning*—written by the very trio he tried to control. James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederick-Frost deliver a self-aware, hilariously meta short that turns the artist’s ambition on its head.
