This remarkable volume offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of American soldiers during World War II through the lens of Harry E. Chrisman’s heartwarming V-Mail cartoons. Chrisman, a talented artist and soldier himself, captured the hopes, fears, and longings of those serving overseas with his charming illustrations featuring a lovable character affectionately known as “Sunshine.” These cartoons, originally sent as V-Mail (Victorious Mail) letters to his wife, a member of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC), provide a unique and deeply personal perspective on the war experience. Compiled and contextualized by Sheryl Jones, this book is a testament to the power of art to uplift spirits and forge connections across vast distances. For collectors and readers alike, it offers a rare and intimate look at the human side of a global conflict, reminding us of the enduring bonds of love and resilience that sustained those on the front lines and the home front alike.
