Overall Impression

This is the second "Cartoon Origami" book by the talented Halle. The book contains 16 figures, including characters from the Asterix books, famous Disney toons, and an all original toon by the author, among other famous favorites.
As the other books in this series, this is not for the origami purist - the models are compounded from 5 to 12 parts, of different size squares. So it's more like fun paper-toys to build.
In the back of the book, Halle adds a section about creation, and his "Trade secrets". This section is in French and Italian.
