Sad Sack Comics #183

Poor Sad Sack can't catch a break — the cover by George Baker shows him soaking wet and bewildered, his hat somehow ablaze with flames and foliage, while his companions (including the faithful Mutsy the dog) react with a mix of alarm and amusement in what appears to be a rugged outdoor setting. Two onlookers perched on rocky ledges seem less than eager to help, which tells you everything you need to know about Sad Sack's luck. Harvey Comics' long-running series was still going strong in 1966, and this cheerfully chaotic scene captures the gentle, self-deprecating humor that kept readers coming back issue after issue.
