I have never been a cartoonist, but I was a graphic artist and printer for many years in my youth. So, I could totally relate to all of the tools and tool-nerding that Jim and Ed of Cartoonist Kayfabe cover in this video. They go over all of the old-school analog tools used in comic book creation before the age of digital. While something in the realm of antiques for many, some cartoonists (and other graphic artists) still rely on and cherish these tools today.
The guys look at ink brushes, dip pens, mechanical pencils, T-squares, the Ames lettering guide, drawing templates, a proportional wheel, and more. There are great tips here too, as Jim and Ed discuss their drawing process and some of the tricks they employ.
