“Dog-napper”

In "Dog-napper," Sad Sack's day goes from bad to worse when a misplaced hot dog leads to a cascade of misfortunes—starting with a customer furious over sand in his snack, escalating to a full-on basket assault, and ending with an arrest for littering. Written and illustrated by George Baker, this early entry in the Sad Sack Comics series captures the character’s signature misfortune with crisp, deadpan humor, all rendered in Baker’s unmistakable style. The cover by George Baker perfectly mirrors the issue’s tone—silly, chaotic, and just a little bit unfair.

Sad Sack unwittingly sells a hot dog that's been sprinkled with sand from kids jumping over his vendor basket to a man at the beach. The man takes out his wrath on Sad Sack by slamming the basket of hot dogs over Sad Sack's head. To add insult to injury, Sad Sack gets arrested for littering.
