- Derpdiherp 11y agoThis one was great. http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=7343&page=1 http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=7343&pag... I have a thing for old government pamphlets.
- gillianseed 11y agoIn terms of government funded comics, this is my favourite: http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?cid=1026 http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?cid=1026 'PS preventative maintenance monthly' is basically about taking care of army machinery/weaponry, perhaps it sounds boring but it's it's beautifully drawn by Will Eisner and contains characters like Joe Dope, Connie Rodd, Half-Mast and a lot of (often very sexist given this was from the 50's to 70's) humor.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoThat is incredible stuff! Just reading the letters-from-the-field, you can see these guys took it all seriously. From storing phosphorus shells point-up (in hot weather it would melt and unbalance the shell) to greasing artillery after every water crossing (rust would retard the slides upon firing, tearing the mounts loose etc) each issue was packed with something for everybody.
- Derpdiherp 11y agoJust took a quick leaf through an issue, really brilliant stuff! Thanks for pointing it out.
- VMG 11y agoAwesome replacement for stock photos and clip art in presentations.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoWould be an interesting project to slice these into individual panels, and then make them searchable by era, OCR'd text, dominant colors, artist etc. maybe bolt on a meme-generator that lets you change the text.
- sethish 11y agoI would love to work on this. It would require getting a dump of all of their data, or scraping it from them however.
