Sad Sack Comics #49

Harvey's beloved army everyman returns in this 1955 installment of Sad Sack Comics, cover-signed by George Baker himself. The bright yellow cover captures a wonderfully chaotic scene: a scowling sergeant looks on as the hapless Sad Sack goes flying — shoes launching off his feet in a burst of sparks — while sprawled across what appears to be a sudsy floor. It's the kind of perfectly timed slapstick that made this series "loved by millions," and issue #49 delivers it with Baker's trademark warmth and rubbery charm.
