What statue did Mauldin draw?

Bill Mauldin was a famous American cartoonist, known for his World War II cartoons featuring Willie and Joe, two gruff but endearing American soldiers. He didn't draw statues, but he is known for the following:

* Willie and Joe cartoons: These cartoons were published in *Stars and Stripes* during WWII and depicted the realities of war in a humorous and relatable way.

* "Up Front" and "Back Home": These were two books of his cartoons, which were immensely popular and helped solidify his legacy.

* "The Brass Ring": This was a later book of cartoons that focused on the postwar world.

* Bronze statue of Willie and Joe: This statue, located at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., was not drawn by Mauldin, but rather designed by Felix de Weldon, who also created the Iwo Jima Memorial.

So, while Mauldin is known for his iconic cartoons, he didn't design any statues.
