Beetle Bailey on Parade #16899-5

Mort Walker's beloved Camp Swampy crew marches front and center in this sixth collection of Beetle Bailey strips, with the cover delivering a clever visual gag — the same parade of characters (including Sarge, Beetle, and their fellow soldiers) repeated three times in blue, black-and-white, and red. It's a cheerful, eye-catching design that perfectly captures the strip's good-natured military humor. Promising "more hilarious misadventures of the U.S. Army's wackiest G.I. and all his friends," this 1983 Ace Books digest is a fine sampler of Walker's enduringly funny comic strip world.
