When I was a kid, about 40 years ago, the 'Kilroy was here' graffito was pretty common. Can't remember seeing ol' Kilroy for about the last 20 years or so. What happened to Kilroy?

“Forty years ago?” Kilroy originated during WWII. The echoes of Kilry you saw 40 years ago were post-War memories.

That is indisputable. I was not yet alive. Although I may be the reincarnation of General George S. Patton. I don't yet remember. Perhaps visiting North Africa would stimulate the memory bank.

Last time I saw it was in the movie Kelly's Heroes written on the wall of the German bank at the end.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

I'm afraid this is what I think of when I hear Kilroy Was Here.
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

My grandpa had it on his letters and emails to me.
I still draw it places. Few my age understand.

Looks fake to me.

Some joker is trying to trademark "Kilroy Was Here"

Much to the chagrin of the Admiral Shoemaker, Kilroy visited with his buddy Tess.
