G.I. Joe #41
This anthology issue contains multiple stories. "G.I. Joe's Pen Pals" is a correspondence feature where servicemen and civilians exchange letters to brighten each other's lives, with readers invited to participate in the department. Another story, "G.I. Joe in the Crooner," involves a soldier named Mulvaney recounting how he and his bunkmate Joe Birch accidentally started a furlough in Tokyo where they stayed with a woman named Money Reilly, an ugly character named Otis who constantly sang loudly annoyed them, and the situation nearly caused problems for Joe's best buddy's reputation. The issue advertises 156 new pen pals available on pages 9-12 for servicemen to correspond with across the globe.
