WWII-Era Hand-Drawn Cartoons by Sgt. J.C. Pritchard – Late War Originals
Offered here are two original, hand-drawn cartoons from the closing months of World War II, created by Sgt. J.C. Pritchard—a soldier with a sharp wit and a talented hand. These pieces not only reflect the morale and mindset of the era, but also showcase a unique slice of wartime creativity.
The first cartoon features a striking and imaginative scene: a snarling wolf held back by none other than Uncle Sam himself. This powerful image is rich with symbolism and showcases Pritchard’s ability to blend artistry with wartime commentary. Accompanying this piece is an original letter, adding both context and historical value.
The second cartoon is a more humorous and lighthearted take—a hilariously crude rendition of Popeye that had us laughing out loud. Though rough around the edges, it’s full of personality and gives a charming look into the sense of humor that sustained many soldiers during difficult times.
Both pieces make for excellent display items, whether for a WWII collection, a military history exhibit, or simply as rare examples of original wartime art. Genuine, personal, and filled with character—these are hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind artifacts from the Greatest Generation.
