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.

In a way I got to feel that the way [Lee Falk] tried to minimize my impact on the strip every turn he could find. I began to get more and more turned off to him. I tried my best to be pleasant with him and tried to look away at some of the things he did behind my back, some pretty sneaky, but I just, I found out about him and I let my lawyer know what it was about and he said, “we’ll just have to stay more wary of it” you know. But never the less it never quite affected me financially, but it could have if I hadn’t found out in time.
