David Coverly and Jef Mallett's visit to Walter Reed Hospital detailed

I never hear about this in the base newspaper - sigh. For Jef (Frazz) Mallett and David (Speed Bump) Coverly's visit to Walter Reed Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital, see "From the funny page to just off the frontline: Lansing cartoonist takes trip to sketch for wounded soldiers," by Bill Castanier, Lansing City Pulse (April 29 2009).

3 post-World War 1 cartoons on flickr

The National Museum of Health and Medicine, from whence I draw a paycheck, has been putting pictures up on Flickr. Today one of the other archivists put up some shots she took of the Comeback, the post-WW1 Walter Reed Army Hospital Paper. So here are links to a semi-editorial cartoonComeback December 4, 1918 - first edition,

a sports comic strip
Spots in Sports, Comeback, July 23, 1919

and an ad

Comeback May 7, 1919, America's Immortals.

Larger versions can be downloaded from the Flickr site - there are no download limits.
