Adventures in Cartooning #[nn]

Apr 2009 · First Second · 12.99 USD; 15.99 CAD
“Once Upon a Time...”

From the Center for Cartoon Studies, *Adventures in Cartooning* is a wonderfully playful guide — subtitled "How to turn your doodles into comics!" — brought to life by James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederick-Frost. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a knight on horseback brandishing a sword charges toward a roaring green crocodile, while a cheerful elf rides an oversized pencil overhead shouting "YEAH!", with helpful labels pointing out motion lines, word balloons, sound effects, and the pencil itself. It's a charming, energetic invitation into the craft of cartooning that makes the whole enterprise feel like pure fun.
