Randy Glasbergen is the cartoonist behind the comic panel ‘The Better Half’ and his works are seen in newspapers, greeting cards, magazines, books and advertising. Of course, with lots more on his site Glasbergen.
This book does not aim to provide cartooning techniques but rather offers lots of valuable advice & encouragement from Glasbergen. The fun and interesting section is profiles of many other cartoonists; how they started off, how long it took them before their cartoons are accepted and most importantly, personal advice from these great cartoonists!
How to be a Successful Cartoonist also enlightens the aspiring cartoonists how to send in their work, what to take note when making a submission and provides many resources of where to get magazine listing and what books to read to improve. At the end of the day, I know it will be hard work driven by passion and perserverance with lots of practice in creating gags and drawing.
A recommended read for sure!
