Beetle Bailey #92

In "The Scientific Shirker," Beetle Bailey and the squad take Sarge’s strict discipline to absurd extremes, turning every order into a rigid, mechanical performance—just to prove a point about individuality. Written and drawn by Bob Gustafson, with inks by Frank Johnson, the issue captures the strip’s signature humor through exaggerated military antics, all capped by a perfectly deadpan Sarge observing the chaos. The cover by Bob Gustafson and Frank Johnson perfectly frames the scene’s over-the-top precision.
