Miguel sent us another doozy. This comic strip was part of the 1968 Will Eisner M-16 U.S. Army Rifle Maintenance Booklet (click to enlarge).

You want to know her inside out, every contour and curve, every need and whim, what makes her tick. No better time to get all-over acquainted than when you disassemble/assemble her for servicing. Take it easy, no force . . . you could damage your chances in a showdown. Eye-check the parts as you handle ‘em. Get to know ‘em by name and make sure they’re OK for action. Lay the parts down on a clean tarp or something in left-to-right order so that you won’t lose any. Know how far you can strip, and stop right there. OK, by the numbers now, start stripping—but gently. The orange numbers are for taking it apart; the black for putting it together.
And the woman is saying:
Comes a firefight—your M16AI rifle’s your dearest next o’ skin-–bar none!
Well, I guess now I understand why we couldn’t let gays in the military.
Thanks Miguel! You can find that one and more here.
