...good to read again (Sept. 26) about Bill Mauldin. When I was an infantryman in Europe during World War II, his Willie and Joe cartoons were deeply appreciated. I haven't seen my old wartime friends for many years, and was overseas at the time of General Marshall's death [when Mauldin drew his last Willie and Joe cartoon]. How about reproducing the 1959 cartoon for those of us who never had a chance to say a proper auf Wiedersehen to those old dogfaces...
...dogfaces, whose cause it espoused in the ceaseless conflict with brass, it ranked in favor not far below Paris leaves and letters from home. Officers were less than welcome in the city room; one sergeant habitually flung pastepots at any such invaders. It provided the first frame for Bill Mauldin's expert cartoons of Willie and Joe, the two war-weary, grizzled infantrymen who patiently endured everything that Nazi and U.S. generalship threw their way.

Herblock agreed. "He went madly for the idea," said Graham. "I had Duffy down last week and he agreed to come to work for us. As for policy, I don't know what...
...extra income taxes by 1970. Vets not only caught up on the old standard of U.S. living but became a mighty force in kicking off the postwar boom in consumer durables by founding the new suburbs, filling them with TV sets, home dryers, cars. Cartoonist Bill (Up Front) Mauldin, like many of his lesser-paid buddies, now treats himself to an air-conditioned car. "A few years of physical discomfort," he explains, "are a memorable experience." In final proof of their economic stability, veterans defaulted on only 0.8% of their Government-insured loans...
