Rockwell is
most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life he created
for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over nearly five
decades. During World War I, he tried to enlist into the U.S. Navy
but was refused entry because, at 140 pounds (64 kg), he was eight pounds
underweight for someone 6 feet (1.8 m) tall. To compensate, he spent one
night gorging himself on bananas, liquids and doughnuts, and weighed enough to
enlist the next day. He was given the role of a military artist, however, and
did not see any action during his tour of duty.
