Item description from seller

Autograph Letter Signed ("Morrie") on Turner's illustrated stationary. Old folds from mailing, else fine. Turner sends his correspondent a *Wee Pals* drawing (not present). While he asks no fee for the drawing, he notes: "However if you would like to make a small donation to the National Cartoonist Society Milt Gross Fund (a fund to help cartoonists with problems) it would be appreciated by all of us." In 1965, Turner's *Wee Pals*, became the first American syndicated comic strip to have a cast of diverse ethnicities. Although the strip was only originally carried by five newspapers, after Dr. King's assassination in 1968 it was picked up by more than 100 papers. In 2003 the National Cartoonists Society recognized Turner with the Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award.
