It Will All End in Tears
There are some situations that will no doubt only end in tears.You don't need to take a close look or understand the fundamental laws of understated tragedy to get the full impact of what happens next. Any lack of clairvoyance on the part of the viewer will soon be made up in the subsequent panel. So a special knowledge of the future is not required to see that air power is well on its way to beating sea power.
I've tried to bring the detail out of the scan by adjusting the contrast and saturation. I imagine the paper stock was never white to start off with but with a technology in this instance doesn't do any harm. You know making the whites whiter... The good stuff is all there and I'm happy I've been able to bring that detail forward. Those funnels stand out for more than one good reason. Thanks for the comment Joe - keep them coming.

Take any War Picture Library, Battle Picture Library or Commando comic and you will always find those famous last words “arrgghhhhh” or even “donner und blitzen”.
Cowards try to prove themselves or officers interfere by trying to run battles “by the book”. The enemy is treacherous. Mysterious locations hold significant secrets. Sometimes a simple gun is the focal point of a unique karmic destiny.
There are those who are lost or left behind enemy lines where they invariably make a discovery – a hidden base, a wonder weapon or a traitor. The host of intangible struggles are often more significant such as the dark secret, the family shame, the family curse or the stigma of not being like the other chaps.
Strangely enough for stories about war and battle the killed the dead and the dying are usually absent.
There's a lot to like (and make fun of) among the dramatic titles, fantastic artwork, impossible stories, daring heroes, nasty bad guys, body building and not quite diamond rings advertisements.
Joe) What a beautiful rendering. A dip pen in the right hands is truly special.
