Thanks, Sar'Major. The first "field manual" I ever saw for the M-16 was the Comic book called "Sweet 16" drawn by Will Eisner. They were still handing them out in 1975 in the USAF. Things have changed... |

| http://www.oberlandarms.com/pdf/m16a...nance_1969.pdf Here it is in a page by page version. Produced in 1968, Eisner, who was known for his Spirit comic, among others, was a pretty well thought of comic artist. Kinda neat he did this for the services. Mike, she's not as zaftig as I remembered, but not as manly either. Besides, it's not her fault. She was just drawn that way. (Anyone? Anyone?) Last edited by IrishCop; 06-14-2016 at 06:10 AM. |

I'd forgotten about Steve Canyon and the others. I've still got some posters depicting oxy-fuel cutting safety done by one of the guys that did cartoons for Mad magazine. And somewhere around here there's a video done along the same lines featuring Mark Lenard, one of the original Star Trek Romulans. Exchanged some emails with him a ways back, nice gentleman.

bearcat6, Fwiw, I once MET the "real lady", who was the "inspiration" for "Connie". - She was a secretary for a COL at USAIS at Ft Benning & when asked, she would autograph PM Magazines for GIs. (TRUE STORY: An old GF of mine, who was a WAC 1LT at the time, asked her IF she was really that flamboyant shape, when first drawn & the lady answered, "Well I was THEN but of course I was 3 months PG at the time & 'those puppies' were really BIG." & "After I delivered, I could have wet-nursed the entire Infantry School staff." = When Delores recounted that, I just had to LOL. - FUNNY lady!!!) yours, sw |

I read every PM Mag I could get hold of. Seems like one of the HQ clerks had sticky fingers.

The image of the lady I had seen most often is the one on page 8, where she's in jungle fatigues and a beret, looking pretty studly. I see that she's softer and rounder in a lot of the other scenes. | |

There were a whole lot of young men cycling in and out of the military in the late 60's-early 70's between the draft and guys enlisting in the USAF and Navy to avoid going into the Army. I think they really had to gear training to the lowest common denominator. What could be more effective in teaching a bunch of essentially teenagers than a comic book? | |

But to be honest, I find it quite effective today. Military FM's and TM's are dryer than a hot spot in the desert. It makes a very boring subject at least palatable. | |
