Sad Sack Comics #18

Poor Sad Sack can't catch a break — the cover of this 1952 Harvey issue finds him splattered mid-mishap near a "Keep Street Clean" trash cart, a scowling policeman looming disapprovingly while a little dog watches the chaos unfold. George Baker's cheerful, rubbery linework captures the lovable loser's eternal bad luck with real comic warmth. With 18 fun-packed pages promising "Sad Sack's Friends," this one delivers plenty of the gentle, good-natured humor that made the strip beloved by millions.
