Peace, Beetle Bailey

Mort Walker’s long-running Beetle Bailey newspaper strip gets a one-shot, book-length treatment from Jove Books in 1990, collecting classic gags about the perpetually lazy Private Bailey and his long-suffering comrades at Camp Swampy. This trade paperback offers a concentrated dose of the strip’s timeless military humor, showcasing Walker’s clean, expressive cartooning and the series’ enduring status as one of the most beloved comic strips of the 20th century.
