Sad Sack Comics #168

Harvey's long-running everyman soldier returns in issue #168, with a cover by George Baker that perfectly captures the strip's good-natured chaos — poor Sad Sack is swept along on the back of a speeding alligator, clinging to a bewildered Mutts the dog, while two onlookers watch the whole mess from a nearby island with amused disbelief. It's the kind of wonderfully absurd situation that made this series a staple of 1965 comic racks, delivering laughs with a light, breezy touch.
