There are people who show illustrations to show their loved ones how important they are to them. There are writers who write a dozen pages of letter because of uncontrollable adoration to their significant other. Take this letter, for example, to show you that both medium can coincide through a thought. This was a letter made by the “Popeye” Cartoonist, Elzie Segar. If you have a talent for both drawing and writing then you can count that this would be a letter that you would enjoy writing and that the recipient will find this sweet.
