But Widget, there's o buck pr1-
vate that turns an NCO's hair gray
In one "hitch." This nasty, gold
bricking good-for-nothing never
puts In time pouring over his Morse
code, seldom burns the midnight
otl--usually drinking II instead
and always ends up shovellng snow
on the fields rtinways.
'BOrn' in Doodllng
The cartoon pair came into being
one hot September day when Toll
lestrup, who worked for Walt Dis
ney and did free lancing, was
doodling. A fellow soldier suggested
they be put TO. use in the Oriental
ton Publicity Departments pro-
gram. Tollestrup first got into the
orientation department when he
was transferred to Scott Field as q
private to study radio. He worked
during the day and drew sketches
at night. When he graduated, field
officials decided here was o man
who not only could draw but also
knew his radio communication.
The result was q promotion for
Private Tollestrup and assignment
to the orientatlon department to
boost morale" with his men and
ink.
Dwigmie and Widget appeared
for o week without any names. A
sergeant then suggested christen-
ing them with their present ones.
"When I was boy I always had
the Widgets when I got into mis-
chief" he explained. when was
good the Dwigmies had me In their
care"
Dwigmle Gets Promoted
So, widget explains the "don'ts''
Of soldering while Dwigmie advo-
Gates the cause Of hard work and
the inevitable promotion.
Widget gives officers the hot-foot
tells military secrets, never studies
and ends UP gigged, broke or blown
to bits by his own carelessness,
Dwigmie always shines his boots,
learns his code and gets promoted,
transferred to Florida's gunnery
school and eats with the command
ing offlcer's daughter.
A typical strip shows Santa Claus
leaving money and candy to Dwig-
mic and spare radio parts to dis
gusted Widget.
Widget looks something like the
popular Gremlin-and some baby
Gremlins have his name--but Cor
poral Tollestrup's characters were
created before gremlins became IA
nous in story and article. He has
dates to prove 1t, he says.
Appear In Textbooks
Proof that Widget and Dwigmie
have caught on Is the fact that two
textbooks now being published Will
carry full-page illustrations Of the
two showing right and wrong sides
to military courtesy and study
methods.
Widget and Dwigmie even get fan
letters. Scott Field graduates
transferred to other barracks and
climes. often write words OF eau
ton to Widget and ask for advice
from Dwigmie.
After the war. Tollestrup thinks
he can muster the pair out Of thu
Air Force into q civilian comic
strip, Asked which Of his children
he favors, Tottlestrup grins guilty
but confesses:
