Mister Breger and the Beaurocratic Genie

Dave Breger was the creator of the WW2-era comic strip, “Private Breger Abroad,” which later morphed into “G.I. JOE” for the U.S. Army’s own “Yank” newspaper. (Breger created the term GI Joe…but had nothing to do with the toys or cartoons that came much later)

When his character, “Private Breger” got out of the army after the war, his comic strip was reborn as “Mister Breger.”
