"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.
