That comic strip started running while I was a wee lad. I 'member.
I think we called him Ziggy, after the comic. I'm not certain.
Actually, @cynicaloldfart might know. That's about the right era and he's even older than I am!

I do remember Kilroy, and am guilty myself of doodling it. It was supposedly drawn by servicemen during WWII in foreign lands. I also 'member Ziggy, but never associated it with Kilroy, as the cartoon was current and Kilroy was history.

See? I only knew it as Ziggy. I was reasonably sure you'd remember/know more than I did!
You're pretty much a national treasure, with that archival memory and dedication.
Oh, on Poal there's a lovely story from Owly in the guitar riff submission.
