How to Come Up with jokes for Cartoons and Comic StripsTeaching cartoonists how to evoke laughs is the latest great idea to come from a best-selling author who always knows just what readers want.
Aspiring cartoonists and seasoned professionals all face the same problem: coming up with a
steady stream of jokes for their drawings. But there's a science to funny art, and this book's
complete course shows just how to create comic panels and strips that get laughs, from set-ups
right through to punch lines. The essential tools of joke writing are outlined: visual stereotypes of comic teaming (fat/skinny, short/tall); setting up a character's agenda, then putting up obstacles to create conflict; and action that brings the surprise. Other valuable guidance includes where to find resource materials for jokes, plus tips for drawing comic lettering styles and dialogue balloons.
Christopher Hart is Watson-Guptill's best-selling author; his previous books have sold more than a quarter-million copies. He fives in Connecticut.
