Sam, drawing his last contribution!
To the Editor:
I do not know how many subscribers you have from New York to the NORTH AMERICA POST but I always look forward to receiving a copy. However, I was a bit disappointed when it was cut down to just two issues a month. Regardless, please continue with the interesting reportage and your excellent staff and writers.
And by the way many years ago I was at a JACL convention in Seattle. What a wonderful city you have. And also as forewarned it did not rain when we were there.
I just now received the NAP (1/19/18) and was saddened to read David Yamaguchi's SANSEI JOURNAL "The Cartoonist Below Me" of the passing of Sam Goto. My deepest condolences to Dee Goto.
Mr. Yamaguchi had the privilege as he described it of being the first person to review the lay out of "Seattle Tomodachi." In my case it is always the first page I turn to where the cartoon is located and also of fondness.
I do not know if there are any plans but I would like to propose that the NAP publish a book that features the entire "Seattle Tomodachi" cartoon from the very beginning to the end. I am sure it will be a best seller. And I will indeed get a copy of his book "My Fifty Years in the Medical-Dental Building.”
Mr. Goto's character features a youth somewhat ethnically oriented with Nikkei philosophy, life style, education, adventure, and a inu companionship that at times think like a human being and other amusing characters all put together in a enjoyable comic format.
Thanks Sam for the many years for your great cartoons I enjoyed and by many of your fans. Unfortunately I never got to meet you. No doubt you must have been a great guy to have as a friend. May you rest in peace.
