2022 book #48. 2008. A compilation of Bill Mauldin's WW2 cartoons depicting his view of soldering life from the viewpoint of the common GI. Not overly funny but mainly a wry commentary on Army life. My favorite depicts Willie and Joe in a fox hole with bullets wizzing by overhead. One says "I'm beginning to feel like a fugitive from the law of averages".
