"Th' hell this ain't the most important hole in the war. I'm in it!"

"Able Fox Five to Able Fox. I got a target but ya gotta be patient."

"I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages."

These three are taped to my computer monitor at work.

And the classic slam at Patton:

"Radio the old man we'll be late on account of a thousand mile detour."

Great examples of the work of a great cartoonist. They don't make them like him anymore.
