Strips and Sunday pages 1950-1951

This book is a great introduction to Beetle Bailey for those who have not met them before. And for those who are familiar with Beetle, this is a great refresher. It's also a lot easier than having to wait for the next trip to come out. The book follows Walker and his transition into the position of Beetle Bailey comic strip writer. We also see how his character spider morphed into beetle Bailey, and on March 19 third 21 of 1951, we see how beetle went from college student to military. "Shall we pass him?" "Let's face it! Everyone has to put up with inferior products these days!" Now sit back, have some fun, read about the antics of Beetle Bailey, and prepare to kibitz. I even find myself once in a while reading out loud. The bonus material contains a few unpublished strips.
