Draft:MSG Half-Mast McCanick

  • Comment: Potentially notable, but we'd need one or two more sources that are independent and discuss the character in-depth. The medium.com source is okay, but we don't usually allow medium as a source because it is user-generated. Qcne (talk) 12:48, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Master Sergeant (MSG) Half-Mast McCanick is a fictional, two-dimensional character associated with the U.S. Army’s PS: The Preventive Maintenance Monthly, more commonly known as PS Magazine. MSG McCanick—uniquely referred to by his first name as MSG Half-Mast—was the creation of Will Eisner, an already well-known cartoonist who was drafted into the Army during World War II and subsequently contracted by the Army Ordnance Corps to create and illustrate PS Magazine.[1][2]
