Did You Fix the Brakes, Beetle Bailey #9451

Mort Walker's long-running army comic strip gets the digest treatment in this 1991 Jove Books collection, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: Sarge grips the wheel of a runaway green military jeep, eyes wide with panic as it careens off a cliff's edge while smoke billows dramatically behind it. It's the kind of cheerful chaos that made Camp Swampy's residents so endearing, and this pocket-sized paperback is a fine way to enjoy a stack of Walker's gags in one sitting.
