My Dad was a good artist and at Pearl Harbor that Dec day.
In the folks 1st home after the war in 1945 he painted a mural size of a Mauldin page on the cellar wall, 6 feet high at the bottom of the stairs.
It read, Don’t startle him Joe, its almost full”.

We had the book Wille and Joe it was taken from around the house and none of us know what happened to it ? It would be a collectors item these days.

Back during the impeachment wars in 1998, I posted "Fresh, spirited American troops, flushed with victory, are bringing in thousands of hungry, ragged, battle-weary prisoners. (News item)" to Jim Robinson when we were kicking the Clintonites' collective @sses a month or two after the Drudge bomb.

He liked it. We were all pretty beat just about then...

Yeah, had that book as a kid. Dad did not relate, he was Pacific war.

Think my favorite is Willie and Joe sitting up in their sleeping bags, one of them shining a flashlight on a big rat, the other one with a .45 in the rat's face.

"Aim between th' eyes Joe, sometimes they charge when wounded"
