Harvey Hits #51

Harvey Hits #51 brings another round of army-life comedy courtesy of George Baker's warm, wonderfully expressive cartooning. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a grumpy, stars-spinning sergeant stands front and center looking thoroughly aggrieved, while the hapless Sad Sack fumbles away in the background amid a rack of hanging pots and pans — and a little dog tagged "Rotten" wanders cheekily into the scene. For a dime, this 1961 installment of Sad Sack's Army Life delivers the kind of gentle, good-natured chaos that made this series such a reliable treat.
