Beetle Bailey #79
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Pest is Yet to Come," Bob Gustafson's sharp wit and visual humor shine as Beetle Bailey accidentally reroutes Cookie's dishwater straight through Sarge's tent—only to discover it's also flooding Lt. Fuzz's quarters further down the line. With Gustafson both writing and drawing, and Frank Johnson handling the inks, this 1971 Charlton classic delivers a perfectly timed, escalating mishap that turns a simple chore into a military-grade mess. The cover by Gustafson and Johnson captures the chaos in classic, deadpan style.
In this classic 1971 installment of *Beetle Bailey*, Beetle’s casual act of dumping dishwater downhill takes an unexpected turn when it flows straight through Sarge’s tent—then keeps going, much to the sergeant’s dismay. When Sarge learns the water is also seeping into Lt. Fuzz’s tent further down the slope, the two enlist in a surprisingly coordinated effort to double the flow.
In this classic 1971 installment of *Beetle Bailey*, Sarge imposes a comical punishment on Beetle: a full duck-walk complete with quacking, ordered to continue until told otherwise. When General Halftrack urgently summons Sarge, the command to stop is forgotten, leaving Beetle stuck in his absurd routine—quacking and waddling on, unaware of how long it might go on.
