"What we're fighting for!" Pin-up World War II humor: JEST magazine, 1942

Humor featuring leggy girls and cornball cartoons from the early days of World War II. Our boys bought these types of then sexy, now quaint, magazines by the wheelbarrow load from the PX, reminding them of what they were missing. "Better get in and get this war over with, guys...the girl back home won't wait forever."

Thanks to the scanner who provided this bit of Americana online.
