Kitty Khaki: Olive Drab Thinks France Is Bled White

This four-panel strip follows a female soldier character discussing World War I military strategy with a French officer. The humor derives from a misunderstanding about the Battle of Flanders and the famous "75s" artillery—with the final panel's punchline hinging on a double entendre about men and the "firing line." Published during America's entry into the war, *Kitty Khaki* exemplifies how newspaper comics became vehicles for topical commentary and military recruitment messaging. The strip uses the visual grammar established by earlier Sunday pages: distinct panel borders, speech balloons, and a recurring protagonist in military dress. Artist signature visible as "Honer" in the work, the strip demonstrates how comics of this era blended entertainment with wartime patriotism and contemporary events.
