Archive: Studying the Comics Page (1950) Today we posted the second section on newspaper comics from Gene Byrnes' "Compete Guide To Cartooning" (1950).



Byrnes' Complete Guide To Cartooning Part Two

This installment contains articles on how to come up with ideas for comics, editorial cartoons and advertising gags. But the meat of the chapter is an in-depth overview of the leading newspaper comics of the late 40s.. Blondie, Bringing Up Father, Mandrake The Magician, Prince Valiant, Gasoline Alley, Dick Tracy... There are high resolution dalies and Sunday pages for you to download and features on leading artists like Hal Foster and Chic Young..

Print this stuff out and put it in a binder so you can refer to it!

Thanks
