Sad Sad Sack #31

Harvey's long-running army comedy series delivers another helping of hapless misfortune in this Giant-Size 1971 edition. The cover, penciled and inked by George Baker, captures Sad Sack in a chaotic kitchen disaster — perched on a stool in a cook's hat, holding a fork over a smoking TV dinner while fumes curl ominously through the air, as a stern sergeant and a horrified onlooker witness the carnage amid a cluttered, explosion-prone stovetop. The left sidebar cheerfully reminds readers that Sarge, The General, Mutsy, and Sadie Sack are all along for the ride — plenty of familiar faces to share in the suffering.
