Description

“Maybe they can’t do that...but we can beat on the tables and yell at the waitress”

Legendary Disney artist (1901–2000) known as the ‘Duck Man’ for inventing ‘Duckberg,’ the home of Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Daisy Duck. ALS signed “Carl,” two lined pages, 5 x 7.25, May 1, 1983. A letter to some friends about travel and his new house. In parts: “I’m enclosing a clipping from yesterday’s Grant Pass paper. Looks as if the salmon are ‘running.’…Yesterday we went shopping for new furniture for this big house. Saw chances to spend many thousands of dollars. Have to curb our fantasies…Gare is busy unpacking boxes and piling stuff on the floor. Some cabinet we ordered will be delivered this week. Then she can bring order out of chaos. Sometime we must go out and find a restaurant serving fresh caught salmon. Maybe they can’t do that until the commercial season starts, but we can beat on the tables and yell at the waitress.” In fine condition, with a few light creases and staple holes to the upper left corner. RRAuction COA.
