Catch 22 Yossarian Tackles Major Major

image: One soldier tackles another, seizing him around the ankles and bringing him down.

One of a series of works by the artist depicting scenes from Joseph Heller's novel 'Catch 22'.

With a little ingenuity and vision [Major Major] had made it all but impossible for anyone in the squadron to talk to him, which was just fine with everyone, he noticed, since no one wanted to talk to him anyway. No one, it turned out, but that madman Yossarian, who brought him down with a flying tackle one day as he was scooting along the bottom of the ditch to his trailer for lunch. The last person Major Major wanted to be brought down with a flying tackle by was Yossarian. (pg 116, Vintage 1994)
