I'll Throw the Book at You, Beetle Bailey #8 (12636)

A fuming Sergeant with his cap askew squares off nose-to-nose against a grinning Beetle in this punchy Tempo Books collection from 1976, and the cover's bold red-and-white clash perfectly captures the strip's signature tension between the two. The tagline "I'll throw the book at you" sets the comedic stakes just right, promising the kind of good-natured military mischief that made Mort Walker's Beetle Bailey a newspaper staple. At 95 cents, this eighth collection is a cheerful snapshot of one of comics' most enduring odd-couple rivalries.
