Author Don Trachsler took a good hard look at the cartooning books currently available and found them to be, in one respect or another, sadly inadequate to fill the needs of today's aspiring cartoonists, whether they be ambitious youngsters or adults seeking a new, and perhaps more rewarding, career. Cartooning for Fun and Profit fills this gap by: Encouraging the beginner's natural creativity and abilities. Covering the basic fundamentals of drawing. Focuses on the subject of CREATING humor. Cartooning For Fun and Profit presents these new teaching techniques in an interesting, entertaining and often amusing manner.
