Lucy as a New Feminist. In the winter of 1970, when she was a young writer with a national Canadian magazine, Patricia Lorsch sought an interview with Charles Schulz The cartoonist was delighted to meet someone from Canada, who he assumed (correctly, as it turned out) would share his enthusiasm for ice skating and hockey. Lorsch and Schulz quickly established a friendship and spent several days in conversation, which included Lorsch telling him about her upcoming article about the New Feminists in Toronto. This topic bemused Schulz and a few months later he worked the subject into the present strip, in which the New Feminist Lucy Van Pelt refuses to catch a fly ball hit directly to her during fielding practice—much to the chagrin of manager Charlie Brown. Schulz sent the original strip to Lorsch with the apposite inscription quoted above. Somewhat before drawing the cartoon, Schulz sent Lorsch an autograph letter signed ("Sparky"), which accompanies the strip: "Your investigation into the New Feminists fascinates me, and I am anxious to read what you will be writing about them. This has ramifications beyond our dreams, and takes us into areas such as religion that could and should change much that need changing" (1 1/2 pages on a leaf of his Sebastopol, California, letterhead, undated, and incorporating a gag with the printed vignette of Charlie Brown and Snoopy on the bottom; signature slightly abraded).
