Even if you're not a comic book creator or cartoonist, this book is a fun read.
It's called 99 Ways to Tell A Story by Matt Madden. He takes a one page joke and re-does the same joke in 99 different styles including Winsor McKay, Jack Kirby, Jack Chick, Art Spiegelman, Robert Crumb, George Herriman. (Krazy Kat) and Hergé. (Tin-Tin). Richard Outcault</i> And he uses Wally Wood's Lazy Layouts as a basis for certain styles of story telling. Includes: Silhoutte, extreme close-up, voyeur, fixed object, no panel borders and EC horror. And it's obvious he's having fun with this when he includes 11th century tapestry style, superhero, war comics, Political Cartoon, Manga, Plan 99 From Outer Space, furry, Charles Atlas Ad, you know, that 97 pound weakling that always got sand kicked in his face until he joined the Charles Atlas bodybuilding program that always appeared in Silver Age comics, and so on.
This is a book I couldn't put down because there are explanations for the historical styles. Winsor McKay is known as the father of animation and Richard Outcault is the one who created The Yellow Kid. He is called the father of the modern comic strip. And certainly he got under the skin of William Randolph Hearst.

Several styles he left out, however:

The Sea Monkeys ad,
South Park,
Doonesbury,
Fox Trot
Bloom County.

Inexplicably he included Garfield in there. Huh. Oh, well. It's still a fun read.
