Harvey Kurtzman's Early Gag Cartoons

Found this via a Web search for something else. Which is, of course, the most fun way to find something, isn't it?

Russ Maheras shows us some early gag cartoons by Harvey Kurtzman. All are from 1945 issues of Yank Magazine, when Harvey was twenty years old and in the infantry.

"A mere seven years later, Kurtzman would forever change the way the world viewed itself when he created the iconic satire magazine for E.C. Publications, Mad," notes Russ.

This was new to me, but may have hit the Web when it was first published on Open Salon in August.
