Found this while scrounging looking for art to sell to help covering badly due bills at the end of the month.

Back when I had a story going that I had illustrated, called 'Slice of Life' , it featured a character named Raymond 'Hoss' Williams, a Vietnam war vet who served with the 199th Infantry in 1971/72 towards the end of the American involvement. I had several stories involving flashbacks of his tour in Vietnam, cause the character was suffering from PTSD. Hoss was in my syndicated comic strip Muddflatt in the early 1980s and I was showing the ills the returning Nam vets were going though back home . I relocated a old sketchbook where I wrote my storylines ala story boards that animation uses that featured some stories based on what happened in Vietnam to the troops. Hoss was the one who lived them.

I had the characters in the strip age with time much like how Gasoline Alley has done since 1921. Part of me wishes I still had the old Slice of Life art, I'd possibly would have redrawn it. But with todays fandom, it would be viewed as ancient history and likely ignored.
