At Ease, Beetle Bailey

In the 1970s and early '80s, Tempo Books collected the classic antics of Camp Swampy's most famous slacker in At Ease, Beetle Bailey, a five-issue comic series. These volumes gathered the daily and Sunday strips from the peak of Mort Walker's long-running military satire. The series offers a tidy snapshot of the era's humor, preserving the timeless tension between a lazy private and his long-suffering sergeant. For fans of the strip, it's a compact, nostalgic look at one of comics' most enduring characters.
