Sad Sack's Funny Friends #43

George Baker's cover for this 1963 Harvey gem sets the scene perfectly: the General is having an absolutely miserable afternoon outside the Officer's Mess, recoiling as his soup bowl erupts with ants while more of the tiny invaders swarm around him — his glasses knocked askew and his expression pure exasperation. Meanwhile, a hapless cook emerges from the Kitchen doorway with a fire extinguisher, and a little dog labeled "Mutsy" scrambles nearby, completing the cheerful chaos. With a story titled "Undercover Agent," this issue of Sad Sack's Funny Friends promises the kind of good-natured military comedy that made Harvey Comics a staple of the early '60s.
