Beetle Bailey

In the late 1960s and into the 1970s, Tempo Books collected Mort Walker's classic Beetle Bailey newspaper strips into a compact, four-issue comic series. These digest-sized volumes re-presented the timeless, gentle humor of the perpetually lazy Private Bailey and his long-suffering superiors at Camp Swampy. Walker's clean, expressive cartooning and his knack for military satire made these collections a handy way for fans to enjoy the strip's best gags in a portable format.
