 Some really wild poses and very lively brushwork, too.

Note from CartoonSnap reader Dave O'Dell:

"It looks like this was a collaboration between Irv Spector and Bill Williams with Williams drawing the female character and Spector everything else. Williams also worked on several other Stanhall books at the same time including Oh, Brother and G.I. Jane."

Thanks, Dave!

Thousands Can Draw Cartoons Who Have Never Even Tried


"Why work at drudgery when through a remarkable new method you can easily learn at home in spare time to draw cartoons that sell?"
"Many are earning pitifully small salaries who could make wonderful salaries in cartooning."

This is my favorite part:

"Just watch a cartoonist work. A few little lines -- a couple of simple curves --a splash of black here and there -- and then you see a splendid cartoon before you."
