History in a Pint
Lake Superior Railroad Museum 506 W Michigan St., Duluth, MN, United StatesThe 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.
