Sad Sack Comics #272

Harvey Comics' long-running military humor series delivers another round of slapstick misfortune in this 1980 installment, with a snowy winter scene setting the stage perfectly. The cover by Fred Rhoads shows our hapless hero Sad Sack tumbling face-first into the snow after apparently taking a kick from a scowling sergeant standing in a doorway — snowflakes swirling all around as if the weather itself is in on the joke. It's the kind of cheerful, good-natured comic chaos that made this series a favorite for decades.
