"Draw Longer, Draw Stronger is a fat little tome that should have a place on every cartoonist's shelf"-Jessica Abel, Drawing Words & Writing Pictures, La Perdida, Radio: An Illustrated Guide "I was saved by Kriota Willberg's brilliant book, Draw Longer, Draw Stronger, which illustrates beautifully how and why you should care for your body as an artist. It applies to anyone who sits and works with their hands a lot (use a computer for work, do you?) - I can't recommend it highly enough."-Georgia Webber, Dumb
