Can some external links to some of his cartoons be given? DryGrain 18:29, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Needs a list of Mauldin's published books as only a filmography is here. With the new biography by DePastino, Mauldin's "Up Front" and "Willie and Joe: The WWII Years" are now in print among those out-of-print like "Back Home." --chacal la chaise (talk) 03:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps his most famous one is missing from the article - the one where a GI faces away from his damaged Jeep, covers his face with one hand, and aims his .45 pistol at the vehicle with the other. Banjodog (talk) 03:03, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
The bibliography needs work. I hope to get to it someday but feel free to do it anyone who wants! (I moved the Fantagraphics information out of the biography section since it didn't even happen in his lifetime.) rewinn (talk) 05:50, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
...By David Lamb in Military History Quarterly, Summer '89, seems to be the actual source of the "Soldiers were peasants to him" quote; which I haven't found so far in "The Brass Ring." It does show up in Stephen Ambrose's intro to a reprint of "Up Front." Anmccaff (talk) 23:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

I have read that either Time or Life or a similar magazine ran a WWIII feature in the 1950s and that for that feature they had persuaded Bill Mauldin to supply Willie & Joe cartoons for an issue, which, if I remember correctly was presented as a retrospective feature entitled "The war we did not want." Supposedly these cartoons have never been republished. Graham1973 (talk) 10:37, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
The article includes the claim "Mauldin drew Willie and Joe for publication one last time on Veterans Day in 1998 for a Peanuts comic strip, in collaboration with its creator Charles M. Schulz, also a World War II veteran. Schulz signed the strip "Schulz, and my hero ..." with Mauldin's signature underneath.[22]"
While this strip exists, Mauldin did not draw the characters for this usage. Rather, Schulz swiped the figures from an existing Mauldin cartoon. You can see this documented on my blog. (Yes, it's a self-published source, but as neither Mauldin nor Schulz is a living person, and as I'm a recognized information source regarding Peanuts, this should get around WP:SPS.
I am not making this edit myself due to having retired from editing Wikipedia, but I've seen this error propogated lately, so I thought I'd call it out. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:12, 12 November 2021 (UTC) ADDED: This can also be confirmed with this tweet from Benjamin L. Clark, curator of the Charles M. Schulz Museum. Could someone please remove the false claim, both from here and from the Willie and Joe article? --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:57, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
As I detail in the prior section, the article currently includes incorrect claims that Maudlin came out of retirement to draw Willie and Joe in a Peanuts strip. I am requesting a pair of edits to correct this situation.
I am not making these edits myself because I have a conflict of interest with them, as I am inserting my own work as a source. The blog is, yes, a self-published source, but I believe falls under the WP:SPS exception "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." I have written histories of Peanuts for several publishers -- you can see one such book being cited by the Charles M. Schulz Museum And Research Center on this page] - and my writing on Peanuts and other comic strip topics have been published by reliable sources --here's an article that appeared in the print edition of American Heritage, here's one that appeared in the print edition of Hogan's Alley. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:46, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
January 15th, in Italy, Ernie Pyle focused an entire article on the Stars and Stripes cartoonist. It got Lee Miller, Ernie's editor, to get him syndicated state side through Ernie's distributor United Feature.
