by Gabe Josephson
Once American servicemen won World War II, they came back home and, under the GI Bill, swarmed US campuses. Just like his creator and look-alike Gabe Josephson, “Vic the Vet” found himself at Syracuse University, where he and fellow members of the military tried to adapt to campus life… or to adapt campus life to them. Here are the cartoons of Vic the Vet, culled from the Syracuse campus newspaper the Daily Orange and in print for the first time in over half a century. They paint a great picture of the moment as they look not just at the trials and tribulations of the soldier-turned-student, but at the fashions of the day, at the battle of the sexes, and at campus life in general.
