How to Draw Cartoons - A New Set of High-Res Scans from 1940's Cartooning Book

A while ago I posted links to a terrific cartooning book prepared by Popular Mechanics for U.S. Armed Forces. Now that the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive has scanned another copy of the same book in high resolution, I wanted to point you all to it at http://www.animationarchive.org/2008/11/education-how-to-be-cartoonist-in-16.html

Here's a little hint of what's inside:

Other pages in the book cover How to Draw Heads, Expressions, Composition, How to Draw Clothes and Folds, Perspective, How to Draw Animals and Kids, and Inking Techniques for old-school ink-slingers.
