Ever see the MASH episode where Col Potter shot his Jeep?
It was a take off on one of of Bill Mauldin's Willy and Joe cartoons from WW2. I loved those cartoon and used to laugh at the pictures when I was in my 2's and couldn't read yet.

My dad was a WW2 vet and he had a paperback with most all of Mauldin's WW2 cartoons. The cartoons were very popular with GI's like my dad but the officers did not like Mauldin's cartoons and complained but Eisenhower did and said Bill could draw what ever he liked.Oh yes, I have them all on DVD and watched not only the movie when it was first run at the theatre, but watched every single episode when they were new. Really the only sitcom other I watched besides All in the Family.
I have his book Up Front on my book shelf. I too enjoyed his cartoons from a young age. The book belonged to my Dad who was a child during WWII.
