This is one of the better books available on action cartooning. Like the genre itself, it's fun, concise, short on detail, and long on visual impact. Unlike others in his field, Caldwell, a former Marvel Comics artist, takes anatomy seriously. His sections on drawing the face, torso, arms, and legs emphasize the creation of character, personality, mood, and emotion. Caldwell's lessons on the exaggerated movements of action characters are thoroughly annotated for the beginner. Recommended for young adult collections; for the comedic side of traditional cartooning, see Christopher Hart's Drawing on the Funny Side of the Brain.

In Australia in the nineteenth century, a rich political cartooning tradition was beginning to flower. The first Australian newspaper to feature political cartoons was the Cornwall Chronicle, in Launceston, Tasmania, first published in 1835. Then came the Adelaide Month Almanac in 1850 and the Melbourne Punch in 1855, which both ran anti-government political cartoons. Soon most state capitals had their own versions of Punch.
