Sad Sack Comics #101

Harvey Comics' long-running everyman soldier stumbles into fresh chaos on this January 1960 issue, with the cover by George Baker showing Sad Sack clutching a detached steering wheel while a tree branch smacks him in the face — and a small figure goes flying off a runaway red vehicle in the background. It's a perfectly timed snapshot of the poor guy's endless bad luck, rendered in Baker's wonderfully expressive linework against that eye-catching yellow backdrop. At just a dime, Sad Sack Comics #101 delivers the kind of good-natured, slapstick misfortune that earned this series its "Loved by Millions" tagline.
