About This Item
The Mountain Boys" hillbilly cartoons became this Connecticut artist's syndicated path to fame, published in such magazines as "Life," "New Yorker," "Judge," "Colliers" and "College Humor" and collected into such books as "Comin' Round the Mountain" (1938) and "Keep 'em Flying" (1941). ALS, 1p, 5 3/4" X 9½", New Canaan, CT, 8 October 1935. Addressed to Mr. Milkman. Very good. Boldly penned in brown ink in Webb's large, broad script, the cartoonist jests with an admirer that "I have a hobby too -- I spend so much of my time on this particular hobby that I really accomplish very little. I would have answered your letter sooner if it hadn't been for this said hobby. If I can ever make enuf money to retire I'm going to spend my whole time at it -- I won't keep you guessing any longer -- it's sleeping." Nicely signed -- and a lovely example from early in his career.
