“The Mule and the Bull!”

In "The Mule and the Bull!", Beetle Bailey learns the hard way that following Army regulations to the letter can backfire spectacularly when he obeys Sarge’s strict order to get permission before speaking to Captain Scabbard—leading to a chain of increasingly absurd mishaps. Written and illustrated by Bob Gustafson, with inks by Frank Johnson, this 1968 classic captures the comic’s signature blend of military satire and slapstick, all wrapped in a cover by Gustafson and Johnson that perfectly previews the chaos to come.
