About This Item
What Bill Mauldin and "Willie and Joe" were to World War Two G.I.s, "Wally" Wallgren and his "Helpful Hints" cartoons in "Stars and Stripes" were to World War One doughboys, for both poked fun and army life, army chores, army regulations and the drudgery of military life; Wallgren served with the 5th Marines in the First Division in France, after the war collecting his cartoons into the popular "Wally: His Cartoons of the A.E.F." in 1919; later he cartooned for "American Legion Magazine" and then had another strip called "Hoosegow Herman." Original ink cartoon, heavy stock 4" X 7" sheet, n.p., n.y. (Wallgren's Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania home address lightly inkstamped on verso). Near fine. Wallgren signs simply "W" at lower right, and though not dated, an inkstamped 15 March 1943 on verso is perhaps the date on which this appeared in "American Legion Magazine." Two serviceman in uniform stand at center perusing this magazine, the soldier at left asking "Wot's 'savvy our lingo' mean?" and his pal at right replying "It means we talk the same language!" Caption inked quite large both above and below this scene remarks, "SEND YOUR / MAGAZINE" (at top) "TO A BUDDY / IN SERVICE" (at bottom). Displayed in cream 7" X 8½" mat with 3¼" X 5 3/4" opening.
