Mr. Joe Cowles
Dear Joe: In reply to your letter of the 13th. I must say
I'm not sure my advice about cartooning would be very helpful,
as I am pretty ignorant on the subject, myself. The Donald
Duck comic book work is about the only experience I've had
in the business, and I just feel my way along on that.
However, if you'd like to look at my work methods and
see how I develop my ideas into plots and plots into drawings,
you're welcome to pop in any day, afternoon or evenings.
The wife and I always go shopping in the mornings.
Our home address is 1421 Poppy Drive, Hemet. Poppy Dr.
is a new residence street off South Girard Ave. just east of
Hemet. Girard is the street that runs from Highway 74 to the
Ramona Bowl. Telephone number is OLive 8-3712.
It would be a pleasure for me to meet a reader who digs
comic books. Up here in the bible belt people only read the
good book and the Walnut Growers' Nutshell News.
Sincerely yours
Carl Barks
