G. I. DONUT BOYS

G. I. DONUT BOYS
Cracked #167, March 1980
a: John Severin

There's this one gag in The Phynx, a movie comedy about a rock band recruited as part of a secret operation to rescue actors that have been captured by a foreign government. After weeks of rigorous military training they are given much needed R & R by the government who sets them all up with groupies. Everybody is getting laid except one member and out of nowhere Patsy Kelly pops up and offers him a donut. The whole movie is cameo appearances by Hollywood stars for no reason at all, so I figured that's all there was to it.I didn't know that donut dollies were a real thing, service volunteers who made donuts for soldiers. The movie came out in 1970, so there would be plenty of vets from World War II, and maybe those who finished their tour of duty in Vietnam, that got the reference.
