Wish You Were Here, from Dave Breger
Here's another of the wartime Private Breger cards by Dave Breger. This one is Graycraft #303. Note the King Features copyright on it indicating that it is presumably just reused from the newspaper series.
It is from the syndicated series, though I think they appeared in Stars and Stripes first. That the card series is titled "PRIVATE BREGER" rather than "PRIVATE BREGER ABROAD" may indicate that Breger owned the character and his cartoons, and KFS owned the 'ABROAD title and could only use it for newspaper syndiction.
