Thank you for viewing! Popular American comic (until '89) "Bill the Cat" This patch seems to be a type of humorous motivational or morale patch unofficially used by the military and other organizations. It depicts Bill hanging upside down from a tree branch, humorously and self-deprecatingly expressing how difficult and dangerous reconnaissance missions are. Text meaning: RECONNAISSANCE (Reconnaissance) OOP ACK! (Bill the Cat's cry) IT AIN'T PRETTY. (It's not beautiful, it's not easy, it's a mess) It conveys the message "Reconnaissance missions are such a mess that Bill the Cat is falling from a tree," expressing the hardships and severity of reconnaissance personnel's missions. Condition: Stored at home, unused. From the time of acquisition, there are traces of cellophane tape (discoloration) and writing, possibly numbers, in ballpoint pen on the back. *Although not visible from the front, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. 80's 90's I think it's clean for its age, but I'm waiting for purchases from those who understand that it's a home-stored item. I will ship promptly via Yu-Packet Post Mini. I'm sorry, but I will not be offering a discount. #Click here for Snoopy's vintage archive Immediate purchase is welcome.
