Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated August 20, 1962 partially reads, "Lenny Wilson may be young in years, but he has very mature ideas for the future. Eight-year-old Lenny is a cartoonist. He is quite adept at copying 'regular cartoon characters,' but his real love lies in creating his own comic strips. 'It took me about a half year to make up the characters for my TV show,' Lenny said. 'It's gonna be on TV in about 30 years. I figure by that time I'll be a millionaire and people will like my stuff. Y'know?' the young Sherman Oaks resident said."
