I am pretty sure I detect strokes here and there that you have never before equalled." a Mr. Tarkington wanted to make sure that the artist drew a real boy, so this is how he describes him: "Penrod should not look tall, athletic, graceful; neither should he seem quite so short and awkward. Nor must he seem either modish or too extremely untidy. 'Duke' (the dog) is a little larger than I have drawn him. Sometimes he should look up affectionately at his master. The most important thing is that Penrod should always be the same boy-if he wears a 'Norfolk,' it should n't be too Hart, Schaffner & Marx! He should be, most of all, an individual."
