Drawing on the Funny Side of the Brain - Christopher Hart [anno1 torrent

Hart, a regular contributor to Mad Magazine and a comedy screenwriter, has produced a manual with equal emphasis on the art of cartooning and the art of comedy. He has the requisite chapters on how to draw funny characters, but he comes into his own when he analyses pacing and rhythm, set-up and punch lines, and the differences between dramatic and comedic scenes. Certain words, he maintains, are ordinary and certain ones funny. Tips on becoming a professional cartoonist and some helpful resources round out the text.
