Beetle Bailey

One of my all time favorite cartoons is Beetle Bailey and today's cartoon kinda hits home with all the drugs I have to take and now being retired I forget what day it is sometimes.

If you have ever been in the military some of Beetle Bailey cartoons will surely strike home ! !

And strangely enough  using Google Chrome and Google as the search engine received about 860,000 results 0.25 seconds.

The very first cartoon published on Sept. 4, 1950. As you can see it was a very different person than he is today.  He was originally a college freshman!

 - - an excerpt from the website:  ""MORT WALKER first debuted the unforgettable Beetle Bailey in newspapers in 1950. Now boasting a massive worldwide daily audience of more than 200 million strong, Walker's legendary character is quintessentially American. The loose, lackadaisical and utterly likable Beetle takes a hilariously insightful look at our innate distaste for authority – and our relentless pursuit of a good time. Beetle Bailey is now a classic anti-hero, who embodies two distinctly American qualities: resiliency... and humor.
     Mort Walker and Dr. Romanelli have come together to re-invent this classic comic strip as new high-concept apparel line, giving it a contemporary twist while paying homage to its Americana/Military roots.""
