“Why I Left the Army and Became a Civilian”

In "Why I Left the Army and Became a Civilian," Frank Jacobs delivers a sharp, satirical take on the energy crisis through a clever collage of familiar nursery rhymes, reimagined with biting wit. Paul Coker’s expressive art, rendered with precision and humor, brings Jacobs’ wordplay to life, while Jack Davis’s iconic cover captures the absurdity with signature flair.
