Brilliant visual irony, here: The WWII draft enlists circus twins who wear a two-man horse costume, front and rear. So where do these guys wind up? Why, fore-and-aft in a gunnery plane, of course. Fuller, a sophisticated adherent of the Big-Nose/Big-Foot school of cartooning, relates everything in four concise panels. A close look affirms Fuller as an influence upon such next-generation artists as Robert Crumb and the Netherlands' Joost Swarte. Ink and watercolor wash over graphite on Bristol board, with an image area of 12.75" x 16.5". Toned, with handling wear. In Very Good condition.
