Toon Writing

The new issue of Written By, the magazine of the Writers Guild of America, is out now and it's devoted largely to the writing of cartoons. There are in-depth pieces on Matt Groening (who did the cover), Brad Bird, Seth MacFarlane, strikes and troubles of the past…and even an introductory overview article by me. A few excerpts from the issue, not including my piece, are on the magazine's website. Look for it at your local newsstand.
