DescriptionAs this February 1941 American Legion magazine cartoon shows, Wally Wallgren could flat-out draw. If Wallgren had focused more on cartooning than procrastinating, he might be more of a household name today. This wonderful Sunday page-style cartoon shows a young WWII soldier being a chip off the 'ol block, going AWOL just like his pops did during WWI. The pen work is really terrific, creating a nice sense of atmosphere in the small space. And I love the way Wallgren uses the portrait of the father as a WWI doughboy to show his reactions to the son's doings. Wonderful stuff by Wally.Social/Sharing |
