Comics artist and teacher Ivan Brunetti describes Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice (Yale University Press, 2011) as “a classroom in a book” for aspiring cartoonists or anyone curious about the medium. “It is a ‘how-to’ book in the sense that essentially, it points you to discovering your own style, your own voice, and your own stories.”
