War and Love

This post analyzes a different type of medium from photography and literary works that can't be normally done in a formal setting. It analyzes a comic strip about war.

In this comic strip, a person (maybe a boy) is writing to the troops to thank them for defending the country, especially during the holidays when they would rather be home.

What the comic emphasizes is how brave the soldiers fighting for the country are and how thankful everyone is for their sacrifice. It also emphasizes the view that soldiers are considered sexy to girls. The girl in the comic makes her friend ask if there are any available guys that she could possibly date. It shows a common view that girls find men who are strong, fearless, and in uniform to be attractive and desirable.

Overall, the comic shows a very compassionate, thankful attitude towards the soldiers fighting.
