In 1968, Will Eisner [1], an acclaimed American comics writer who passed away in 2005, illustrated a US Army rifle maintenance booklet that instructs soldiers to treat their rifles like a woman. I just added it to our Best Titles Ever [2] page, not because the title itself is particularly funny or odd, but because this was a comic book -- distributed to all US military personnel in Viet Nam -- whose illustrations were strange and sexist.
