1940 v 2019 Sweetheart Grips
1940 v 2019 During World War II, it was common for soldiers to keep family photos under clear grips on their 1911 pistols. They were called “Sweetheart Grips.”
A side-by-side comparison shows a World War II-era 1911 pistol with a family photograph under its clear grip, contrasted with a modern pistol grip displaying an anime girl. The joke compares sentimental wartime keepsakes with contemporary anime fandom and is used as an ironic reaction to exaggerated devotion to fictional characters.
