Cartooning author and professor Ivan Brunetti

The best cartooning is efficient visual storytelling—it is as much a matter of writing as it is of drawing. In Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice, noted cartoonist and illustrator Ivan Brunetti presents fifteen distinct lessons on the art of cartooning, guiding his readers through wittily written passages on cartooning terminology, techniques, tools, and theory.

Through simple, creative exercises and assignments, Brunetti offers an unintimidating approach to a complex art form.

Ivan Brunetti has published several graphic novels and taught courses on editorial illustration and comics at the University of Chicago and Columbia College Chicago. His drawings have appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, and McSweeney's, among other publications, and he served as editor for Yale University Press's two-volume Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories.
