I’ve had this book for years. Jack Hamm is a classic. The book has a copyright date of 1967, but the principles and examples are timeless. There is a great section with 150 drawings of various emotions and expressions most needed by artists. This book has thousands of illustrations.

This book is written by the Cartoon Editor of The New Yorker. Mr. Mankoff takes you on a journey through his creative path for developing gag comics. Where do the ideas come from? Get the book to find out.

This is a great book! Chip Kidd does a great job helping you get inside the head of one of the greatest comic strip artist of all time. You get to see the development of the Peanuts comic strip from its beginnings. This is a must have for any comic strip artist or enthusiast.
