A Rookie in Robinson #[nn]
In "1. Hi, Folks!", Pvt. Ned Eller — writing and drawing under his own name — kicks off a wartime comic strip with a fresh, funny look at military life, following a rookie's misadventures from range finder duty to a run-in with the MPs after a trip into town. With a mix of awkward moments and small victories, the story captures the spirit of a young soldier navigating the absurdities of camp life, from stolen cake to a toothache that lands him in the guard house. The entire comic is a self-contained, hand-crafted gem by Ned Eller, with art and lettering all signed by the creator.
