Sad Sack Comics #88

Harvey Comics' long-running everyman soldier finds himself in a wonderfully absurd predicament on this December 1958 cover by George Baker: Sad Sack sits at a crowded dinner table dressed head-to-toe in medieval knight's armor, blissfully unaware as his tablemates brandish actual swords and daggers alongside their eating utensils. The chaotic scene — roast chicken, raised blades, and baffled dining companions — captures the gentle, put-upon humor that kept this series "loved by millions." A charming snapshot of Baker's knack for wringing comedy from the world's most hapless soldier.
