The Willy & Joe cartoons are a treasure trove:



"I feel like a fugitive from th' law of averages."


"Don't startle 'im, Joe — it's almost full."


"You'll get over it, Joe. Once I wuz gonna write a book exposin' the army after th' war myself."


I just shamelessly swiped these from another forum but there are more all over the net as well as some great books collecting them.

LB! We need a few Groggy Amazon links to Bill Mauldin books!

The depth of knowledge on these boards never ceases to amaze me.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Guys, spring for the hardcopy- these are the kind of books to hand down to the next bunch of grogs to come.

edit: grogified :)

Looking on amazon UK now.

Looks like I can pick up a paperback copy for around £12. Woot!
