The Learning Curve-Still

JLS found another trove of art a short while ago. I'm going to start this series with a cartoon RTH apparently did for a Navy newsletter called "The Learning Curve". I'm guessing these were done while we were in Japan, in the mid-60s. There are six of these, and the style  is consistent across them. The only other cartoons that I'm aware of that he did were for family Christmas cards.
