Sad Sack Comics #230

Poor Sad Sack can't even count sheep in peace — the cover by George Baker shows him wide-eyed in bed as a chaotic dream vision erupts beside him, complete with a bellowing Sarge cracking a whip at a fleeing flock of sheep, all rendered in swirling pink clouds while his faithful dog watches from the floor. The left-side character panels remind readers that this Harvey Comics series packs in a full roster of familiar faces — Sarge, The General, Muttsy, and Slob Slodinski — making each issue a multi-strip treat. For fans of George Baker's eternally put-upon soldier and his hapless misadventures, this 1973 entry is a cheerful 20-cent slice of Harvey humor at its most gleefully absurd.
