. Famous George Baker Sad Sack Comic Strip "Mechanized War" to appear in the History Channels "Color of War" documentary.
.
The series produced by John Corry and IM3 Entertainment documents, through mostly letters and diaries, the first hand experiences, thoughts and feelings of men and women, combatants and civilians, from the World War II period. Another signature feature of the series is that every episode is comprised entirely of original color film shot by combat cameramen during the war.
.
The Sad Sack cartoon will be featured in one of the final episodes, which will focus on some of the enlisted men who brought us the images, words and sounds of the war, such as cameramen, artists, and correspondents for print and radio. The episode will air later this year.
