On July3, 1943, The New Yorker published this wartime cartoon of a sentry who finds himself intimidated by an imposing American tank. The original artwork was sold three months ago on eBay. The seller has incorrectly attributed the drawing to cartoonist Alan Dunn. It is actually the work of Alain (Daniel Brustlein) who included this drawing in his 1957 anthology Steeplechase.
