More Cy Young

This just in, courtesy my friend Michael Barrier, an article that originally appeared in the November 27, 1944 Los Angeles Times:

Artists Sketch Women in War

Sgt. Cy Young, ex-cartoonist in the Walt Disney Studios, Ed Gerard and Cecil Maggi are on hand regularly in the U.S.O. Women's Service Center, Pershing Square, to make free sketches of woman Marines, Wacs, Waves and Spars to be sent home to the families of the service women.

One of the most popular features of this club's activities, the sketchers turned out almost 100 pictures in the U.S.O. lounge room yesterday.

Scroll down two posts to see a piece of original combat insignia art created by Cy Young in 1943.
