I'm looking for a Private Snafu cartoon to show at a Vetran's Day event at the local VFW post. Any title is O.K. as long as it is in good condition.
Send me a PM or my email is silentfilm (at) verizon (dot) net.

Hello,
It could be stupid, but...
What is "snafu"?
Jean-Christophe.

"Snafu" = "Situation Normal: All Fucked Up" (abbreviation used by the US Army since WWII)
"Private Snafu" is the hero in a series of "propaganda cartoons" released by the US Army: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Snafu
