 | | They appeared in two movies set in World War II, Up Front (1951), starring Tom Ewell and David Wayne, and Back at the Front, with Ewell reprising his role as Willie and Harvey Lembeck as Joe. |
 | | Also, on rare occasions, they've turned up in Mauldin's own postwar work, for example in his 1947 book, Back Home (which depicted them as civilians, a role they weren't well suited for). |
 | | One of their last appearances was on Sunday, June 5, 1988, when Mauldin drew the final Steve Canyon installment as a memorial to the strip's creator, Milton Caniff. |
