  "textContent": "This is wonderful: a Redditor uploaded some of their grandmother’s comics that she made in the 1940s, documenting her marriage to the deployment of her husband for World War II.\n\n> I never got to meet my grandma, she passed away young in 1977 but finding her 1940s sketches felt like she was finally introducing herself to me. She was so talented, and as you can see, she had absolutely zero filter (I finally understand where my mother and I get it from).\n>\n> My favorite part is seeing her personality jump off the page. She goes from joking about Pre-Marital Chaos and Pancake Gravy to the gut-punch of my grandpa getting his deployment orders in ‘44. She wrote “Damn the Army and Hitler!”\n\n(thx, andy)\n\n**Tags:** comics",
