About the series
A single-issue comic from the Stars and Stripes, This Damn Tree Leaks (1945–1946) is a wartime artifact by Bill Mauldin, the celebrated cartoonist best known for his Willie and Joe strips. It collects a handful of Mauldin's signature, wryly humorous observations on the soldier's life, offering a sharp, understated glimpse into the absurdities and discomforts of service during World War II. As a standalone publication from a GI newspaper, it stands as a compact, authentic piece of military humor history.
