Humoring the Troops:
Cartoonist Bill Mauldin created the everyman GIs Willie and Joe in the Army newspaper, The Stars and Stripes. Gen. George Patton objected to Mauldin's humor and wanted the newspaper to drop the cartoons. But he was overruled by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. Mauldin won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1945. |
