Funky Winkerbean has a newly-wed veteran of the Afghanistan liberation returning there, bride in tow, to spend the honeymoon clearing landmines.

Funky Winkerbean sometimes has John Byrne (preaching to the choir in this forum, I realize -- Byrne of She-Hulk, FF, X-Men, and re-booted Superman comics) doing a guest-creator tour. Also, FW includes a recurring character is a chubby loner who runs the comic-book shop beneath the pizza-parlor.

But back to WW-II. Milton Caniff was not bashful (or politically correct) in doing the Male Call strip (so to speak) for official publications, either.

We discussed Will Eisner recently, at the time of his death.

Anyhow, I'm still looking for the cartoonist who can bring tales of the current war to the sort of snapshot Willie and Joe once offered.
