  1. Another great Post cover illustrator I’m glad to learn more about, including his World War II recruiting posters. He really had his own special style, and obviously loved the outdoors. Hopefully the boy holding the skunk got rid of his ‘special trophy’ before he got home, and his mother supervised some seriously needed hand washing here. Yikes!
