From the article:
Bill Mauldin, the Army sergeant who created Willie and Joe, the cartoon
characters who became enduring symbols of the grimy, irrespressible
American infantrymen who triumphed over the German army and prevailed
over their own rear-echelon officers in World War II, died today in
Newport Beach, Calif. He was 81 years old.
