So, maybe you had one cut out and posted in your workspace, on your refrigerator, garage, or even in your home office. Maybe it reminded you of a situation or past event; some are works of art in their own right, some are astute military or political commentary, and others are entertaining or just plain fun. Some may speak to a particular point in history, or accurately reflect your thoughts or service. Whatever 'it' is please feel free to share your favorites, and if you can't find the one you're looking for, no problem... just provide your best description, and we'll all help locate it! It could've been an old classic, something more realistic or modern, a non-military comic that addressed military subject matter/somehow relatable to the military experience, or something different altogether or that no one's seen before. This should be a great time, so pull up a keyboard, and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

Air Force Blues was probably my favorite while it was out in force a few years ago. You can still find the author's work in the AF Times or on the RAF Mildenhall site (under the name Box-D Blues).
Terminal Lance is probably a close second. My wife followed CrewDogs pretty closely.

Terminal Lance. Even as an Airman, I feel I understand most of the material pretty well (got a friend in the usmc anyways, maybe that helps)

The works by Gunny Wolf. You can see them at http://www.sempertoons.com
he has some great cartoons. Also, Beetle Baily is still around and getting laughs, poking fun at the Army. And man, Beetle must be the oldest Pvt. in the Army.
I will say this, there really has not been any fun military cartoons from the Air Force or the Navy. On the political side, I guess Doonsbury.
I should point out that Gunny Wolf, also pokes fun at the other branches too. Just click on the gallery and see for yourself.

TSgt Hurley, wow, that's great, I've been waiting for someone to post about Gunny Wolf and/or Sempertoons; so thanks for posting! If it went any longer ,I was going to post one up for the Gunny! lol Let's see, GySgt Charles Wolf, USMC (ret.) and I go back a ways, "Sgt" Wolf and I were first introduced at MCB Quantico and we've stayed in contact since; he's an imaginative, engaging, and thoroughly hard-working former Infantryman that I'm very proud to call friend and Marine. In fact TSgt H, you've hit the bull's-eye with this one, as the Gunny was in large-part the inspiration for this thread. Thanks again for posting, and for those who aren't familiar with Sempertoons, check it out you'll be glad that you did! Semper, B

I used to read the "There I was... flat on my back" cartoons in the back of the Air Force Association magazine growing up. Absolutely fantastic especially is you love aviation.
Beetle Bailey is a good laugh every now and then too...
