On part 2 of this week's episode, we talk with authors Phil Witte and Rex Hesner about their book, "Funny Stuff: How Great Cartoonists Make Great Cartoons".
Phil Witte is a long time cartoonist with cartoons published in The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Reader’s Digest, and regional magazines, as well as British publications, such as Private Eye, The New Statesman, and The Spectator. He has previously written two best selling books, "What You Don’t Know About Turning 50" and its sequel, "What You Don’t Know About Turning 60".
Rex Hesner is a retired Waste Water Treatment Manager (He knows his... stuff) and is very knowledgeable about cartoons (as I said, he knows his... stuff!)
"Funny Stuff: How Great Cartoonists Make Great Cartoons" is a great book and a highly recommended addition to any humor library.
