This is the sequel to Ken Muse's amazing book, "The Secrets of Professional Cartooning". Also out of print, it is very difficult to find (it took me years), but if you can get your hands on one, it is worth it. This book is a supplement to the first, revising and adding to the information included in the first. It also includes more cartoonist interviews, and has a lot of advice on how to draw and submit your own comic strips! Recommended to everyone who wants to learn about cartooning.
