Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Americans of all ages, interests, and backgrounds shared a common love for the serial narratives of daily newspaper comics. This chapter examines available fan letters sent to cartoonist Milton Caniff during World War II, to explore elements of interpersonal relations, identity, and community expressed through reader interactions with Miss Lace in the military-only comic strip Male Call and with her counterparts in the widely read Terry and the Pirates serial comic. From camps to colleges and foxholes to factories, devoted readers revealed their regard for Caniff’s work and their relationships with his characters, while documenting war-time perspectives and experiences and actively shaping identities and communities. Soldiers, nurses, and other U.S. Armed Forces personal across every branch and theater of World War II wrote letters of appreciation; made requests for drawings, prints, and insignia; and generally celebrated the artistry, accuracy, and necessity of Caniff’s heady, humorous, and heroic comic stripped America.
