Sarge

A gruff, put-upon military non-commissioned officer in Harvey Comics' humor universe, Sarge serves as the perpetual foil to the hapless Sad Sack, enduring the bumbling soldier's endless misadventures with exasperated authority across comedic army-life stories.

Chester Gould's Dick Tracy may have launched Sarge into the world in 1957, but it's in Harvey Comics' beloved humor titles where this Silver Age character truly found a home — popping up across Sad Sack Comics, Sad Sack and the Sarge, and Sad Sack Laugh Special over an impressive stretch spanning nearly seven decades. With 38 catalog appearances alongside the likes of Sad Sack, General Rockjaw, and the wonderfully named Slob Slobinski, Sarge is woven into the warm, comedic fabric of Harvey's military humor universe. If you have a soft spot for the lighter, laugh-out-loud side of Silver Age comics, this is a character whose long publishing life speaks for itself.
