Customer Reviews

Beetle Bailey of the sixties, quaint for modern children, generates nostalgia in older people

Beetle Bailey is a cartoon figure that seems to transcend time, although there have been many changes in the strip over the years. This book is a compilation of segments that primarily feature Beetle and Saergent Snorkel. The humor is very much that of the mild strips of the sixties, although it avoids the regular feature where Beetle is pounded into a fuzzy pancake by Snorkel. Reading it brought back many memories of reading the Beetle Bailey strip when I was a child. Modern children will probably find it quaint and a bit silly, but it will generate a sense of nostalgia in older people.

America's best know private

Mort Walker's long suffering private, Beetle Baily, has been a staple in newspapers for many years. He's even had his own postage stamp. This book has the black and white adventures of all the familiar characters - Sarge, Generak Halftrack and Cookie among others. The drawings are big and easy to read, a real plasure after you've seen it shrunken in the daily papers. The characters in this book are timeless and full of humor. I recommend this book highly for all of those who want to enjoy a classic comic strip.
