☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Brain," a 1974 issue of Sad Sack Comics, Captain Softseat, Lieutenant Packrat, and the Sarge find themselves caught in a bizarre mystery when midnight snacks start vanishing from the base fridge—only to discover, after a blackout, that they’re the ones doing it. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Fred Rhoads, this quirky tale blends military absurdity with a touch of surreal humor, all capped by George Baker’s expressive cover art.
When a bump to the head transforms Sad Sack into a genius, he's suddenly elected President of the United States—only to lose his newfound intellect (and job) after another accidental knock to the noggin. Back in the Army, he’s left to navigate the usual chaos, proving that even a brainy Sack can’t stay that way for long.
In "In Other Words," Jo finds himself caught between two very different commanding officers when Colonel Lilyliver’s strict edict against harsh language leads Sack to secretly record Sarge’s outbursts—only for the colonel to be swiftly replaced by the far more lenient Colonel Grunty.
In "New Light," Captain Softseat, Lieutenant Packrat, and the Sarge team up to solve the mystery of the midnight refrigerator raids—only to find themselves caught in the act when the power cuts out and comes back on, leaving them all in the same guilty position.
