The Saturday Evening Post: 1/27/45

Here's a fairly early example of Al's published work as it appeared in an issue of The Saturday Evening Post (along with a couple of pages of Norman Rockwell drawings). Pretty impressive achievement for a relative newcomer, no?

Al's art is still a bit loose and squiggly here. This being before he tightened up his pencils somewhat and perfected his razor-precision linework. A charming, low-key gag about the horrors of war. Well, if the horrors of war include Nazis interrupting your story about kitty births.
