Description
In the early seventies, a fan named Paul Goldberg wrote to a bunch of comic strip artists asking them for a sketch of their signature characters and he met with suprising success. (That likely would not happen today.) In this case, he apparently wrote to Win Mortimer and asked for a sketch of his character David Crane. Not only did he receive a nice sketch of Crane, but he also received an interesting letter from Mortimer. I would love to know what Mortimer was looking for in the strips he asked about.

Really cool with the history and provenance.  The letter might be the coolest part of this as you can still find David Crane strip art out there.
