The jungle is full of a strange sort of green ant
Description
Depicts a soldier walking through a jungle area, initially in his full uniform, possibly in New Guinea during the Second World War. Through three cartoon-like strips, he slowly gets attacked by some ants and has to remove his uniform and helmet, before finally diving into a pool of water to escape the ants.
