Fun Book but misleading
Any book that has "COMIC STRIPS " written larger than anything else on the cover should be about comic strips. A few pages are dedicated to the layout of strips. Nothing about the business, Most ly guidance on how one might want to draw cartoon people and animals Very good for that purposeVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
