Sad Sack Comics #124

Harvey's long-running army comedy series delivers another dose of hapless military mishaps with issue #124, cover-dated December 1961. George Baker's cover art tells the whole story at a glance: the eternally put-upon Sad Sack stands chained at the ankle while a cannon fires a cannonball directly at him, his hat flying off in alarm, as a soldier and an MP look on in wide-eyed surprise — and even the little dog Mutsy down below seems braced for the chaos. Billed right on the cover as "Loved by Millions," this ten-cent gem captures everything that made Sad Sack a staple of Harvey Comics.
