R.I.P. Bill Mauldin

Bill Mauldin, one of the great iconographers of the last century, died yesterday at the age of 81. His illustrations provided some of the enduring cultural representations of everyday American soldiers during World War II, bringing the conflict down to a human level. Subsequently, he became one of the most respected and accomplished editorial cartoonists, with a style that defined the genre for many years. He was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his work, and is perhaps best known for the image at left which ran on November 23, 1963 - the day following the assassination of President Kennedy.
