Private SNAFU ~ Private Snafu vs. Zika Virus and Malaria

"It's Murder She Says" has a definite purpose -- to encourage Allied troops to use protection against mosquitoes. With the threat of malaria and other mosquito-born diseases prominent in the Pacific Campaign as well as elsewhere, this 'toon was an important communication tool.
This was the last film released in the Snafu series showcasing Snafu's brother Tarfu.
Private Snafu is the title character of a series of black-and-white American instructional adult animated shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II.
To educate young soldiers with minimal formal education on military subjects and to improve morale, a series of cartoons were created by the US War Department. Director Frank Capra, chairman of the US Army Air Forces First Motion Picture Unit, came up with the title character, Private Snafu, a bumbling recruit who did everything wrong. To the GI audience, SNAFU was also a military slang acronym for: Situation Normal All Fouled Up.
Most of the four minute shorts were written by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, and voiced by Mel Blanc, who was already famous for his vocalization of Bugs Bunny. Private Snafu was produced by Warner Bros. Studios, and most were directed by animation industry giants Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng. The cartoons were for military use only and considered classified at the time.
