TLS signed “Charlie,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, September 27, 1968. A letter to fellow cartoonist Al Capp. In part: “I was actually quite surprised to hear what you were planning to do. Since then I have seen proofs of three of the Sunday pages, and, if you will pardon my frankness, find them not very funny. Naturally, I am flattered that you should think the whole Peanuts thing is worthy of your attention, but I sometimes wonder just how much newspaper readers are interested in this sort of thing.” This letter is accompanied by an unsigned letter to Schulz from Al Capp, dated September 11, 1968, which reads, in part: “A lot of people have noticed an atmosphere of bitterness in ‘Li’l Abner’ lately and the theory is that I have become rich, reactionary and senile. All that is true of course…What really embittered me was that I couldn’t find a way of giving ‘Peanuts’ the Fosdick treatment. You have long since achieved the love that deserves a massacre by Al Capp. But—you will note a change in ‘Li’l Abner’ soon. Its gay!! Its lighthearted! And all because I did find a way to do you in, starting Sunday, October 13.” Accompanied, as well, by a copy of Schulz’s letter and a copy of a Capp letter to his syndicate. In fine condition, with scattered light creasing, a paper clip impression and staple holes to the upper left, and an office stamp.
