Sad Sad Sack #36

Harvey's Giant Size format means a generous 52 pages of bumbling military misadventure for the price of a quarter. George Baker's cover sets the comedic tone perfectly: poor Sad Sack is flattened face-first into a punching bag in the gym with a resounding "THUD," while Sarge and a cluster of onlookers watch the chaos unfold — even little Muttsy has trotted in to witness the embarrassment. With the full cast previewed in the sidebar — Sad Sack, Sarge, The General, Muttsy, and Sadie Sack — this 1972 issue promises a well-populated world of good-natured laughs at the Army's most hapless soldier.
