The Art of Soldiering: Servicemembers, Satire, & Cartoons Soldiers and Marines have long used art to process the chaos of military life. Whether fueled by boredom, anxiety, or camaraderie, service members have channeled their experiences into poetry, portraits, and — most prolifically — cartoons. Classic characters like "Willie and Joe" and "Sad Sack" flourished because they were easy to draw in the field and delivered quick, sharp jabs at military authority. Join Wayne Gannaway, Executive Director of the St. Louis County Historical Society, as he explores the history of soldier-cartoonists. From professional illustrators to those who doodled in letters home, you’ll discover how art captured the universal trials of enlisted life: the "mail call blues," the struggle to stay dry, and the timeless friction with the MPs. Come see the presentation of historical cartoons Wayne discovered in his research at area archives, including those of two service members from Virginia....
