Kilroy was here !
    #20579217 - 09/17/14 11:35 AM (9 years, 6 months ago)


Ever since I was a kid and I first saw Kelly's Heroes with my dad, a movie about a goofy group of GI's during WW2 who unknown to their commanding officers "borrow" a bunch of military equipment to go behind enemy lines and rob a bank full of gold bars worth millions. I remember loving this movie and something from it that stuck in my mind after 15 years was a drawing of Kilroy by one of the GI's on the wall of the bank after they rob it.

All through my childhood and teenage years and even now as an adult I draw the traditional Kilroy logo in all sorts of places all the time. I never knew the history on the drawing until a few years ago when I finally looked into its history out of curiosity of what the hell I've been drawing for 15 years.

It is an interesting read and you can find the history on it here at the wiki page. I have over the past few years put my own meaning into why I personally put Kilroy up everywhere I go, but  I always remember where it came from and what it used to mean to a lot of different people.  I often wonder if anyone sees any of my Kilroys and if anyone knows the history which spans nearly 100 years.



I don't really know what the point of this thread is other than just general interest I suppose. I hope you enjoy the read, I encourage you to check out the Kilroy Wiki, and if you ever see a Kilroy on a bathroom stall or a brick wall just remember that Someone was there.

Here's one of my more recent Kilroys:


Discuss intelligently.

It's been speeded up, I think, so it looks a bit odd.

I used to doodle Kilroy when I was little
it was something I picked up from my parents so I never really knew were it came from
