That's just about the coolest response to a letter one could hope for - the kinda thing you frame and show your friends (or in this case, highlight on a blog).

That's just about the coolest response to a letter one could hope for - the kinda thing you frame and show your friends (or in this case, highlight on a blog). Handwritten is awesome as it is, but the little sketches give it such a great personal touch. Very classy.

Only problem with framing: It's two-sided :) (It looks to me) It is really nice letter indeed.

  Frame it between two pieces of glass. More complicated if you want it on the wall, but a hinge shouldn't be too tricky.

    That's a really neat idea! Now I'm thinking of which short stories to frame on my wall =)

He's just inspired me to add a little sketch to my next handwritten thank you note. It's definitely a lost art. Cheers to him for giving it a delightful & personal twist.

Here's another great letter of similar style by the creator of ren and stimpy: http://www.lettersofnote.com/2010/01/your-pal-john-k.html http://www.lettersofnote.com/2010/01/your-pal-john-k.html (I like how the pixar guy said that it's all about having a good story, while the ren & stimpy guy says that good drawing is more important than the story)

  I realize this isn't proof of anything, but Pixar is a hell of a lot more successful than Ren & Stimpy. Perhaps that means something.

    Pixar targets the lowest common denominator, and make movies (I am not insulting them, their movies are amazing, and also target an intelligent audience). Ren & Stimpy creators made TV shows, and targeted a niche or clever teens who enjoy being grossed out.

    I don't think either's success can be compared accurately — one is a behemoth of a company and the other operates on a much, much smaller scale. Besides, Ren & Stimpy did garner a sizeable cult following (not including myself) — and quantifying interest in a cult classic isn't as simple as tracking purchases. Perhaps a better comparison would be Pixar vs. Nickelodeon.
