ALS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, November 15, 1954. Letter to Pogo creator Walt Kelly. In full: “Many thanks for the autographed copy of the new Pogo book. Of course, I had already bought one, as I do immediately whenever you put out a book, but this will be a copy to show off to all my friends. I’ll use my first copy as a study book, and I’ll make notes in all the margins. My book is filled with so much bad work, that I would consider it presumptuous on my part to send you one. After the first book came out, I wished that they would put out another so that my more recent work would show up. Now that the second one is out, I am just as much ashamed. Where does it all end?
Incidentally, I was over to the Minnesota book store one day last month autographing books, and had student after student come up to me saying that Charlie Brown was their favorite after Pogo. You hang over my head Walt. In fact, right while I was sitting there, I glanced upward, and there was some Pogo mobiles floating directly overhead. I know that it was a useless struggle. Thanks again for the book. I really appreciate it. Maybe we could visit for a few hours next time I’m in New York. Either that, or maybe ‘we could all room together next semester.’” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Schulz’s hand, and signed in the return address area, “Charles M. Schulz.” In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip mark and pencil notation to top of first page, a trivial area of paper loss to right edge of second page, and mild toning. A fascinating letter full of wonderful content from one comic icon to another.
