Winnie The Waitress - FIRST LOVE #1

We've had Vic Herman's World War II character Winnie The Wac here before. "Winnie The Waitress" is a postwar variation of the same basic character for Harvey comics. During this period, Herman also did other comics for them, including "Little Dot".

Originally published in 1948.

Vic Herman Art

Vic Herman created "Winnie The Wac", among other characters. Here is some Vic Herman art I got the other day that I hadn't used before, because it wasn't Winnie The Wac. Although it's very similar.

I thought this officer looked like Harold Peary, who used to play THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE.

"Winnie The Wac" - HERE'S HOWIE #9

"Winnie The Wac" was originally a comic strip drawn by Vic Herman, which was popular during the second World War. A Winnie The Wac collection was published which had a forward by Carole Landis. But today on we have the Owen Fitzgerald version, which was originally published by D.C. comics in 1953.
