Reviews
A simple yet sophisticated guide . . . inculcate[s] a sense of cartoons as an essentially literary form. -Wall Street Journal A simple yet sophisticated guide . . . [with] a warm sense of humor. -Wall Street Journal [Brunetti] comes across as that one, quirky, transformative teacher who brings a subject to life . . . enormously empowering. . . . More than any other instructional book, Brunetti's has the potential to create cartoonists. -Bill Kartalopoulos, Publishers Weekly Ivan Brunetti's little classroom-in-a-book Cartooning: Philosophy and Practiceis probably my favourite book about drawing comics.Brunetti gets to the heart of what makes a comic a comic. -John Martz, Drawn blog Winner of the 2012 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award in the Best Academic/Scholarly work category The goal of this book is to fuse elements of both writing and drawing into another form altogether: cartooning. We will use pictures as words and words as pictures. If you follow the advice presented herein, you will begin to see the world through the eyes of a cartoonist. -from the Introduction This is the best book ever written, as far as I'm concerned. . . . It's the best book I've ever read on cartooning, and it's so generous. It's like, anybody can do this. The book is so good. -Lynda Barry, cartoonist
Not everyone can be Charles Schulz or Ivan Brunetti, but if you give your time and best efforts to the program laid out in Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice , you might be more of yourself. --Bob Duggan, Big Think --Bob Duggan Big Think
