Book of Toons, Thrice: Don't Judge This Book by Its Cover, (Paperback)

This is the third installment in the Book of Toons trilogy.

Gary uses traditional methods of drawing, starting with pencil and then ink for the basic outline. The cartoon is scanned into a computer, where it is colored and shaded and often backlit. For some of the panels, a mixed-media technique is used with cartoons and real photos for a unique look in backgrounds, and to emphasize certain objects.

Since antiquity, artists have been experimenting with mixed media and Gary is creating his own personal twist on this art form. This is presented to the viewer before even opening the books, with the first book having a photo of earth on the cover and the second book having a photo of the moon. Also distant galaxies and nebulae courtesy of Hubble.
