I have his book too. I grew up with it on the bookshelf and inherited it when my dad died.

The book I was referring to is Up Front published in 1945 by Henry Holt and World Pub. Co., a memoir of Mauldin's WWII service illustrated with his Willy and Joe cartoons.

I have his book... and know where it is! And I have the Lincoln/Kennedy drawing framed on my wall with my other Vietnam paraphernalia.

Wondering which book you’re both referring to. His biography, Brass Ring, is one of my faves…
