Comic Strip Artist’s Kit Redux

Back in the day, Disney artist Carson Van Osten created a short-but-sweet guide to common comic strip staging and layout problems. Recently I ran across some lovely reproductions of this guide over at Mark Kennedy’s blog, The Temple of the Seven Golden Camels. His blog is a wealth of information on animation and cartooning in general, so don’t stop with this post but read through the rest of his site, too. And make sure to thank Mark for sharing!
