The paper ran until at least 1950 according to the National Library of Medicine, but the issues I have access to ended with May 1946, and the cartoons stopped with a VIP panel in March's issue. A.G. Santomauro returned one last time with a note saying he was cartooning for magazines in Hollywood; does anyone know anything about him? Karl Hubenthal had a page reprinted from the Marine Corps' Leatherneck and Navy cartoonist Bob Woodcock had a reprint in November 1945. Other one-shots were Nick Pouletsos' Stalemate also in November, and Saltshaker by Keziah in December. An Art Brewster sports cartoon of golfer George Lake ran in April 1946.

My friend Rodrigo Baeza found a picture of Santomauro from 1944 in his previous command. This is from a cruise book (yearbook) for the hospital in Pearl Harbor, and is in the National Library of Medicine.
Almost a decade ago, I posted some cartoons from Hospital Hi-Lites here that included VIP, Woodcock, and Santamauro (whose first name was Al).
