A while ago I posted a Private Snafu cartoon from the U.S. National Archives. Here’s a postwar cartoon from the archives with delightfully creative drawings and animation by the UPA studio. Sponsored by the Navy, the idea was to show it to sailors as a way of encouraging re-enlistment.
McGinty and the bird remind me of “Half Hitch,” a comic strip from the Hank Ketcham studio. Ketcham drew an earlier version of the character while in the Navy during WWII, so perhaps it was an inspiration for McGinty.
