To George Schwartz:

Now in its sixth month since opening to the public last March, the International Museum of Cartoon Art has proved to be a wonderful success.

Visitor response (nearly 45,000 people from every state in the country and numerous foreign countries) reflects a love and appreciation of the masterpieces in our renowned collection. I'm certain, too, that visitors are very impressed with the presentation of our art work which you helped so immeasurably.

On behalf of our Director of Curatorial Affairs Gary Hood, I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with the quality of your work; the collection looks magnificent. I have also been impressed with your highly-professional standards, your respect for the art itself and for the best ways to mount and frame it.

You were a pleasure to work with because of your respect for the art, your understanding of our extraordinary pre- opening pressures and deadlines, and your never-failing standards and good humor.

I know Gary and you are making plans to work together again. Your good work continues to be an enhancement to the great works we're so proud to display for audiences from around the world.

Cordially,

Mort Walker, Chairman
