“The Pest is Yet to Come”

In "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.
