“Twenty Years After”
"Twenty Years After" in The American Legion #5 (1938) offers a charming, nostalgic glimpse into the future through the lens of a vintage Stars and Stripes cartoon, imagining what a group of friends might be like two decades on. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Wally Wallgren, the story captures the spirit of its time with a wry, observant tone that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in its 1938 context.
