Renowned cartoonist Brian Platt uses a creative and entertaining format to give tips and pointers on how to draw cartoons in his successful and eye-catching style. Some of the humor and artistic examples (like the "milkman" character) are outdated --although published in 2009, it appears to have been written sometime between the 50s and the 70s-- but the drawing style itself is timeless. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing an updated version of this book, maybe with a costume section that goes beyond the 50s. I only saw a couple "printos" (can't really call them "typos" since the text is drawn) so I'll give it 4 stars and a thumbs-up.
