BILL MAULDIN - Cartoonist

William Henry "Bill" Mauldin (October 29, 1921 – January 22, 2003) was a two-time Pulitzer Prize -winning editorial cartoonist from the United States.
He was most famous for his World War II cartoons depicting American soldiers, as represented by the archetypal characters "Willie and Joe", two weary and bedraggled infantry troopers who stoically endure the difficulties and dangers of duty in the field. These cartoons were broadly published and distributed in the American Army abroad and in the United States.

Van Gogh & Johnny Paycheck

Did you ever contemplate whether or not Vincent Van Gogh might have been the big, mean drunk in that Johnny Paycheck song, Colorado Koolaid, that spit beer in Paycheck's Mexican friend's ear... just wondering, cuz Van Gogh, cain't hear on one side, cuz he ain't got no ear.
