Fake!

In 1986, having just completed some layouts for a Jonny Quest strip, professional comic book artist Steve Rude decided to fax his work to a personal hero - celebrated cartoonist Alex Toth - in the hope of garnering some productive feedback.
He got more than he bargained for! This how it begins:


Read all of Toth's brutal (and lengthy) response at Letters of Note. (There is also a transcription that makes it easier to read.)

    Rude was an up-and-coming talent to watch when this happened. Toth was an old master. Great to read.
