Towels in WWII

Hi, Friends. Animan has been very busy. I wanted to make some more artwork for the blog, but I haven't had a chance. This is my busy time of year. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!

A few months ago, a friend sent Animan this ad for towels. It was probably published in American magazines between 1943~1945.  I've seen it on a few blogs here and there. 

The soldiers seem to be having a wonderful time, and it almost seems shocking by today's standards! I guess you just had to BE there.

  1. Guess I would have to be there to see it, but damn that guy with the leaves knows how to put on a show. Most likely, things never would've gone much further than that for an army unit in the 40's, but in Animan's world, could this be another idea for the future? ;)

  2. I have a copy of the magazine from the 40s it appeared in
    (it's packed away in a box right now)
