This is a very interesting document. Obviously an amateur production. There were countless cartoon books about World War I but this is the first one I've seen about the postwar occupation. The only mention of the War is the reference on page 3 to "that hike from the Argonne." The battle of Argonne was one of the deadliest battles in US history (26,000 Americans out of over 350,000 casualties on all sides). The book is remarkably free of hostility toward the Germans. Maybe Pvt. McGinness created it partly to put all that behind him and enjoy his hard-won R&R.

It's a very insightful view of a soldier's tour of duty (other than his work) in Germany after WWI, giving a good feel for what his life was like there.  Seems as though he enjoyed himself, but was glad to be returning home to The Good Ol' USA.  The drawings were loose, and with a very innocent feel.  All in all, reading this was a very pleasant experience.   :)
