Biography: 

Res Grier's younger son is never given a first name, although he appears in three different short stories, narrating each in somewhat differing voices. Here, he watches his father closely, obeys him as best he can, and tells the story in dialect and detail, with implicit love and humor.

Note: 
I don't think these three stories are "the same." This narrative voice is less childish or childllike than that of "Two Soldiers." Pete Grier and WWII have no place in a comic story.
