That would be Willy and Joe, soul-children of Bill Mauldin and
beloved representatives of all the poor bloody dogfaces in the front
lines in Europe.   Mauldin was a true subversive and would
undoubtedly have loved Vanagons and Vanagonauts.  If you haven't met
Willy and Joe, they can be found in _Up Front_
<http://www.amazon.com/Up-Front-Bill-Mauldin/dp/0393050319>.  They're
the sort of folk you'd like to know.

For the particular cartoon referenced,

start at the bottom and work up.

With profound respect for the American dogface, his Jeep, and what he
managed to accomplish without even a Kubelwagen, let alone a Syncro.
