Bv Svd Hoff. New York: Doubleday, Doran & Company, {945, 52,00. Invasion Experiences f \Vhen Hoff draws a cartoon. what subtlety there is is in the gag, and not the drawing. E,'en though his p~ople look happily unintelligent. or unintelligently happy, they look like people. and the reader knows what their expression is meant to portray. Being happily unintelligent ourselves, we like Hoff's work because we can understand it without extensive researchand because it offers man)' a laugh. Hoff is now home from the wars, and this book follows that theme. The thrill of a tile bathroom. the puzzlement of the kids, the unreasoning pride of relatives, and the joy of women at the end of the manpower shortage, as well as the obvious bedroom angles, provide Hoff with the kernel of a laugh in every drawing. Even the by-now hackneyed gags that crop up in the book are almost saved by Hoff's drawing.

Skidmore was an Air Force administrative noncom, and he made both landings when there was little more than a beach- f f THE COAST ARTILLERY JOUR:-.JAL BINDERS AT A NEW LOW PRICE Jmwary-Fe head to recei,'e him, He took his bombings. and his mu his insects-e,'en a voluntarv few davs as an infantn' his stride, The death of me~ he kne~", and of some he know. was a little harder to take.
