Freelance cartoonist (b. 1929) whose work includes books, album covers, and advertisements. ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, July 7, 1960. Letter to a woman who asked for an explanation of a cartoon. In part: “A hurried explanation—the idea is that the blast went clear through to China (‘one from column ‘A,’ etc’ is standard parlance in Chinese restaurants when ordering from the menu)…I hope you’re not too dispappointed.” In the middle of the page Roth has added a small sketch of a woman asking him to explain the comic. In very good condition, with a paperclip impression to top, scattered toning to lower portion, and a small tear to top left. RR Auction COA.
