Broadside (comic strip)

Last updated

Broadside is a weekly, single-panel comic published in Navy Times from 1986 until March 2020, and written by Jeff Bacon. [1] [2] The humor is very specifically directed at United States Navy personnel, and considered nearly incomprehensible by many non-Navy servicepersons. Bacon also drew a second cartoon called Greenside, featuring United States Marine Corps personnel. Broadside continues to be published online.[ citation needed ]

Broadside cartoons have been printed in numerous government publications, professional papers, and often can be seen adorning the walls of military spaces and cubicles.[ citation needed ] The cartoons have been displayed at the Navy Art Gallery and the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.,[ citation needed ] and have been published in four books: The Best of Broadside, Book II: the Rest of Broadside, and 20 Years of Broadside, and Underway with Broadside.
