I don’t have a picture to show you, but I was reading EB Sledge’s “With the Old Breed.

When the Marines were withdrawn from Peleliu, Army troops replaced them. Sledge reports how different the Army was, including one Marine saying breathlessly. “The Army is stringing barbed wire!”

That immediately brought to mind a Far Side cartoon. Neanderthals are cooking meat by holding it in their hands over the fire. Naturally, they’re burning their hands too.

When I started reading this thread, I thought “oh, I need to find the one with the cows and car!” (The only thing that would make it even better is if they were smoking cigarettes as they stood around 😶)
