Newspaper clipping

Title: The Proposition

One newspaper clipping sent by Frank B. White to L. Jean White dated October 9, 1944. Included in a letter (GLC09855.097.01.) The clipping features a comic strip of "Sad Sack, the most doleful, pathetic, set-upon, heart-rending buck private who ever peeled a GI potato or slept in a wet fox hole." In the comic strip Sad Sack walks by a woman standing on a corner, he whispers in her ear and hands her money. She leads him to a building, up stairs, and to a chair where he sits down. She yanks his pants off and iron them.
