Sad Sad Sack #24

Harvey's giant-size humor anthology returns with issue #24, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: the Army Band is in full rehearsal, but Sad Sack has somehow managed to curl up fast asleep inside a massive tuba while his fellow soldiers play on around him — a couple of bandmates shooting bewildered question marks his way. Down at ground level, Muttsy the dog adds to the chaos, seemingly oblivious to the whole musical mess. It's a warm slice of 1969 service comedy featuring the familiar cast — Sad Sack, Sarge, The General, Muttsy, and Sadie Sack — all spotlighted on the left-hand character guide, promising plenty of laughs across this oversized quarter-book package.
