American cartoonist (1901–1973) who created the popular, long-running comic strip Blondie. TLS signed “Chic,” one page, 5.25 x 8.25, illustrated personal letterhead, October 18, 1943. Letter to “Captain Ickday.” In part: “Well, let’s see—it’s been three years since I ordered a Chinese dinner…Lum’s 52nd Street used to have a meatball thing that was out of this world but I forget the name of it…I’ll tell you what you do—go to Lum Fungs—220 Canal St or 52nd St. (if he’s still there) and tell him to give you the same layout he used to give me. Tell him there’s a hundred thousand Chinese out here in LA and none of them can cook like he can…Come to think, what the hell is a Marine Captain doing thinking about Chinese food when we are fighting them tooth and nail? Or are they our allies?” Cuts and binding holes to the left border, and overall toning, otherwise fine condition. A humorous letter from the prolific comic artist.
