Duh. I'd heard of the letter before, but I should have followed the link to see it myself. Schulz was known to be quite prickly from time to time when he felt fans or colleagues were disrespecting his strip. According to the David Michaelis biography, his response to strip ideas suggested by friends could range from curt to devastating. And he apparently threatened to kill off Snoopy when Lynn Johnston was planning to do a death-of-family-dog series of strips. Apparently he disapproved of her idea as inappropriate for a family strip.... Sounds apocryphal, except there’s the drawing of the girl with the axe in her head…. Duh.

Apparently the letter, which does include the quote “you and your friends will have the death of an innocent child on your conscience," is in the Library of Congress.
