''Ensign Bafflestir'' is a cartoon strip created by the artist Ron Marlett during his enlistment in the United States Coast Guard. The cartoon ran from 1971 to 1974 in the US Coast Guard publication ''Pacific Shield'', and featured a tongue-in-cheek look at daily life in the Coast Guard, as expressed through the exploits of a fictional ensign. == Background ==
As a teenager, Marlett's sense of humor was influenced by ''Mad'' magazine, especially the one-page cartoon strips contributed by Don Martin. In 1970, Ron joined the Coast Guard and was stationed aboard the 255-foot cutter ''Winnebago'', homeported at Honolulu, Hawaii. The following year, the Coast Guard District Office was in need of a driver who would also serve as a representative in their Public Relations office. Ron was chosen for the position, and within a couple of weeks was spending most of his time answering the public relations phone and working on a monthly news magazine called ''Pacific Shield''. The public relations officer Lt Gary Boyer came up with the idea of having Ron create a small cartoon strip that would run every month in ''Pacific Shield''. Ron drew a four-panel strip, and JO1 (Journalist 1st Class) Jim Gilman wrote the dialogue for the characters. Gilman named the tall, skinny ensign in the strip "Ensign Bafflestir;" Ron liked the name so much that the next issue of ''Pacific Shield'' saw the strip christened ''Ensign Bafflestir''. Ron took over the responsibility of writing his own storyboard, and the strip eventually became a full-page piece. ''Ensign Bafflestir'' became famous within the Coast Guard, and Ron enjoyed an unusual working relationship with the commissioned officers. After Ron's discharge from active service in 1974, he pursued a career in the fine arts, and ''Ensign Bafflestir'' was shelved.
