CSotD: Cartoonist in the mud The Daily Cartoonist

Rising to a point of personal privilege, I’m dealing today with Jeff Danziger’s memoir of his time in Vietnam despite the one disappointment, that it is only minimally illustrated by one of my favorite political cartoonists. I have been spoiled by the in-depth WWII artwork featured in “Yank, the Army Weekly,” but those illustrators were sent with pads and pencils to record the war at the time. Danziger had other things on his plate while in-country and wasn’t a cartoonist yet anyway. But he does offer, for instance, a sketch of a Huey helicopter carrying an artillery piece, illustrating his resigned horror at the rocking of the chopper and the realization that nobody had thought to include a simple mechanism for letting the gun go if stability seemed seriously threatened.

How a one-armed outfielder became an inspiration to wounded WWII veterans

How a one-armed outfielder became an inspiration to wounded WWII veterans 4 days ago Pete Gray, the St. Louis Browns one-armed outfielder, batting at Yankee Stadium in May 1945. (Harry Harris/AP) “I can’t remember when I haven’t had an ambition to be a ballplayer,” Pete Gray told Yank, The Army Weekly in 1945. “Being a big-leaguer is just something I dreamed of.” While a common sentiment among many at the time, for Gray, born Peter Wyshner, the path to Major League Baseball proved to be even more difficult. At age six, while hitching a ride home on a grocer’s delivery truck, Gray slipped off and his right arm was crushed by the truck’s wheel. Gray was rushed to the hospital, where his arm was amputated from the elbow down.
