Description

“You shouldn’t become impatient with yourself because your cartoons are rejected”

TLS signed “Charles M. Schulz,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, May 19, 1958. Letter offering advice on becoming a cartoonist. In part: “About the only advice I can give to a young cartoonist like yourself is to be patient. No one expects a high school student to do anything marketable and you shouldn’t become impatient with yourself because your cartoons are rejected. Many successful artists and cartoonists work for years before they produce something that is accepted. The most important thing right now for you to do is to be a good student. You know, of course, that to draw either a comic or adventure strip, you must have a lot of information to draw on, and the best place to begin gathering it is in school. After you graduate it would be a good idea to attend an art school.” In fine condition, with areas of light toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
