"Popeye's How to Draw Cartoons" (1939) Complete scans from a great cartooning book
I love collecting old "How to Draw Cartoons" books, and this one is among my favorites: "Popeye's How to Draw Cartoons" by Joe Musial from 1939. I finally got a giant scanner, so now I can share this really fun vintage cartooning book!
The thumbnail below gives you just a hint of what's inside; There's about 40 full-sized pages of classic cartoon art and "How to draw cartoons" instruction. Click on the picture to jump to the photo album.

Dan Gordon -- one of the greatest cartoonists ever!
Here are some amazing funny animal comics by Dan Gordon. These are from the ACG comic, Funny Films #1 from September, 1949.
The opening story features Puss & Boots in a hilarious cat-vs-dog comedy that transcends the cliches of the genre because of the absolute unbridled mayhem and unapologetic violence-for-the-gag's-sake. You can practically hear all the great sound effects of hammers hitting heads! And most of all...LOOK at those DRAWINGS!
In the second story, meet Blunderbunny...a rabbit inventor whose creations always go wrong...
Another Puss & Boots burlesque follows, and it's one of my favorites!
...and one more Blunderbunny story wraps up the issue!
I have compiled all four Dan Gordon stories from this issue into one PDF file which you can download HERE.
I hope you like these as much as I do! I just bought Funny Films #'s 1 and 3 on eBay...
Let me know if you'd like to see more! I'll get the scanner warmed up. Have fun...
