Cartoonist (1877–1968) who originated the popular strip Katzenjammer Kids in 1897. When he took a break from Hearst’s New York Journal in 1912, the Journal continued the comic with a different artist. In the resulting lawsuit, Dirks won the right to draw his characters but had to write his strip under a different title. ALS, one page, 7 x 10.5, July 10, 1956. Letter to R. S. Craggs. In part: “That court case about the Katzenjammer Kids of 40 years ago was really quite simple—just a case of a contract that turned out not to be equitable. It has been discussed and written about several times and I doubt if I could add anything to it that would be of interest.” Central horizontal and vertical folds, light scattered creases, and moderate irregular toning to the borders, otherwise fine condition.
