What's your favorite Willie & Joe cartoon?

I always get a laugh out of the one where he's pulled his 45 pistol and is ready to shoot his wrecked Jeep :D

 

That was always one of my favorites, along with them under a german STUG, calling it in. In the late 80's, I had extra duty, and part of my "punishment" was to "draw" them in on our Platoon CP using the old overhead to project the images on the on wall to trace the template...

Here's one of my favorites:

Caption: "Uncle Willie!".

Willie stuck in the infantry as a dogface while his young nephew is a full colonel in the USAAF.

Nothin better than Willie and Joe. I would say my favorite is the Cav sergeant, but I also like the one where they are trying to carefully capture the German, and most especially his booze.

That 'shooting the jeep' shot was funnier in it's original form, a pre-war toon he did of a cavalry trooper with the 'smokey' hat and riding pants on. He didn't need to even put markings on the Jeep (a rendered prewar Ford GP) that way. That cartoon rarely ever turns up in it's original form, though...

 

I am lucky enough to know Mualdin biographer Tood Depastino, he got me the program for the stamp release when it first came out, signed by several of Mauldin's relatives!

I love them all. When I was a book printer we ran a book of his cartoons on the 50th anniversay of D-Day. It was kind of cool hitting the "run" button, watching the print quality and reading cartoons for 8 glorious hours. I had all the scrap books boxed a brought to my press after the job was complete, I gave them out as gifts for years. I can't remember a better day...Oh yea my last one there :) Here is the cover.
