17 June 1959 Afterburner

In this issue of Yokota's Afterburner there are two lame pieces and two really good ones. I'll explain in the captions below.
This is an old-fashioned cartoon style by Jack Lebo from AFPS, and it's excellent in terms of art and content. A message about the problems associated with a less-than-honorable discharge are conveyed clearly here. 
This strip is awful as usual. I continue to show these for their very awfulness.
Another AFPS SNAFU strip by Johnson. His art is terrific, and his sense of humor has a definite dark edge to it. This joke makes more sense to a military audience, but even a civilian can probably figure it out.
The WAVEs were the US Navy's female-only corps, so the joke is that this guy is sneaking into the women's barracks by pretending to be female by sticking a mop on his head. Yuk yuk. This is obviously a distro rather than locally produced.
