Beetle Bailey #98
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Accident," Beetle Bailey’s well-intentioned attempts to help a dejected Killer accidentally escalate into a chain of mishaps that leave Camp Swampy in worse shape than if they’d taken the pass. Written and drawn by Bob Gustafson, with inks by Frank Johnson, this 1973 Charlton classic captures the comic chaos of military life with its signature blend of deadpan humor and escalating absurdity—all rendered in the distinctive style of the cover by Gustafson and Johnson.
In "The Accident," Beetle Bailey’s misfortune takes a comically disproportionate turn when he’s struck by a Major’s jeep—only to be overlooked while the Major receives full medical attention for a minor bump to his nose. The absurdity of military protocol and rank-based priorities unfolds in just three pages of classic, deadpan humor.
In "Security of the Post," Killer tries to explain to a downcast Beetle why some soldiers must stay behind on base for the post’s security—only to accidentally cause more chaos at Camp Swampy than if they’d all gone on pass. The absurdity of their well-intentioned efforts unfolds in three pages of classic military humor.
