Description

Advice to an aspiring cartoonist

ALS signed “Charles M. Schulz,” one page, 8.5 x 11, no date. Letter to a budding cartoonist. In part: “I can only suggest revamping your drawing style so that it is more in line with what is being published today in newspapers. Forget all about other forms of cartooning, and study only newspaper strips. (There are a few good ones). Forget about your college background, and college ideas. They are funny only to your restricted audience. I admit that they are as good as any I’ve seen, but they just aren’t marketable. It would be a good idea, too, to open up your style a bit. Avoid these big feet, hands, etc. Refine your character and stop using this meaningless black area in each of your backgrounds…If you are really interested in being a cartoonist, I will be glad to help you in what ever way I can.” In very good condition, with overall staining from old adhesive residue on the reverse. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
