The Original Sad Sack

George Baker’s The Original Sad Sack (1991–present, Lorne-Harvey) reprints his classic, gag-a-page tales of the hapless Army private, originally from the 1940s onward. This single-issue series collects Baker’s earliest and most celebrated Sad Sack strips, showcasing the gentle, everyman humor that made the character a beloved wartime icon. It’s a concise, fond look back at the work that defined Baker’s career and a key piece of military-comedy history.
