Product Details
Overview
Return to Camp Swamp with the earliest military adventures of one of America's most beloved comic-strip characters.
This collection begins with Beetle Bailey's first days in the army, where the famously lazy recruit quickly discovers that military life is filled with inspections, drills, endless chores, and countless opportunities to avoid them all. Under the watchful eye of the explosive Sergeant Snorkel, Beetle turns every order into a comic battle of wills while navigating the absurd routines and colorful personalities of Camp Swamp.
Created by legendary cartoonist Mort Walker, these classic strips capture the beginnings of the military comedy that made Beetle Bailey an enduring favorite. Readers can watch the cast, setting, and signature humor develop from Beetle's earliest days in uniform.
This collection features:
- Beetle Bailey's earliest army comic strips
- His first misadventures as a military recruit
- Early appearances by Sergeant Snorkel and other Camp Swamp favorites
- Classic jokes about drills, inspections, KP duty, and army life
- Mort Walker's timeless visual humor and character comedy
- A look at the formative years of an American comic-strip institution
