Sad Sack Comics [HD] #33
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Outsmarted," a classic slice of military humor from Sad Sack Comics #33 (1961), Sadie and Gertie are on night duty in Supply when the Sarge calls, claiming her power’s out and she can’t watch TV. Mishearing “fuse” as “shoes,” Sadie sends a box of size 12 footwear to the irate Sgt. Blast—leading to a comically mistaken delivery that’s pure, deadpan Harvey humor. Written, drawn, and inked by Paul McCarthy, with a cover by George Baker, this free 1961 issue captures the absurdity of military life with quiet, perfectly timed gags.
In "Camp Warfare," Sarge’s two-week punishment for Sack and Slob backfires when the duo unexpectedly find themselves drawn to the camp’s recreational activities. Once their time is up, they’re caught trying to sneak back in—climbing the fence with surprising enthusiasm.
In "Brass Banned," the General, striving to channel the legendary voice of Stentor, overdoes his military oratory—only to lose his voice entirely during a crucial address in front of a visiting congressman. The resulting silence forces a quick-thinking soldier, Jo, to step in and deliver the speech, turning an embarrassing mishap into an unexpected moment of leadership.
In "Bad Connection," Sadie and Gertie man the night shift in Supply when the Sarge, eager to catch her favorite show, calls from her quarters claiming her power’s out and needs a fuse. Mishearing "fuse" as "shoes," Sadie rushes over with a box of size 12 footwear, leading to a comically flustered Sgt. Blast.
When Sad Sack forgets to engage the parking brake on his jeep after a simple errand, the vehicle rolls into a truck of explosives, igniting a fire that burns down a building. Now, General Hall assigns him another trip into town—on the same day.
