More detail on this person: COL Robert R Matlick About the preceeding five cartoons: (http://nikemissile.org/Humor/Humor.shtml) Several years ago the Nike Historical Society received a cartoon, "Acq Operator", from Jon W. Roy. More recently, SFC Frank Miller sent 5 cartoons, including "Acq Operator", which were forwarded to us by Ted Swanson, in a series of what Frank said were six Nike Personal Cartoons. Frank says the missing cartoon is "Battery Control Officer". The author and artist of the cartoons appears to be Bob Matlick. From my search of the internet it appears that Matlick died in 1985. -Ron ________________________________________ From Ted Swanson: Possible artist?? Lt. Col.

You might know that there are more cartoons like this. I have included them in the attachments. [These are the best copies we've received and the ones we've posted on NikeMissile.org. -Ron] I can't remember where I took these pictures of A4-posters on the wall. I believe it was on the Namfi shooting range on Creta (Greece). The creator of these cartoons is Mslick as far as I can see. [Believed to be Matlick. -Ron] Maybe you can include them on your site.
