Do you think Anna has seen this yet? Not a chance, else she would have posted it by now.
What am I talking about? Strategy Page's reprint of Beatrix Potter and Sven Hassel's great forgotten opus, Peter Rabbit, Tank Killer, of course. Didn't know Peter Rabbit was a grizzled combat veteran, did ya? ("That's for putting my father in a pie, you four-eyed Scots bastard!")
Does anyone know the story behind this? I'm assuming it's a joke, but it looks real. (Thanks to Casey for the link.)
Speaking of World War II: I meant last week to note the passing of cartoon great Bill Mauldin. To learn about this influential artist who both humanized and inspired a generation of dogfaces, click here. To see some more of his work, click here. He died on Wednesday, January 22nd, 2003. Bless him.
I linked to that page, while under the deluge of a quadruple instalanche. It sure got the attention of Strategy Page -- guess who's SP's blog of the week!
Anna, I was going to email you about "Napolean's Rabbit Hunt" at strategypage.com, but I see you've already linked to it. Do you read that site as faithfully as I do? :)
Dean, you should check this out:

Hilarious. Just think, all Jimmy Carter had to deal with was _one_ furious bunny... Heh.
Or The Holy Grail/'s killer rabbit; "e's got teef a mile long!"
