This Beetle Bailey is in like new condition. Beetle Bailey is a comic strip about a perpetual goof-off navigating life in the army. Beetle Bailey was modeled after Mort Walker’s old high school and Army buddy, Dave Hornaday, who was tall, skinny and always getting into trouble in an innocent way. Beetle subscribes to the philosophy, “Whenever the urge to work comes over me, I lie down until it goes away.” From 1954 to 1968, the circulation of Beetle Bailey grew from 200 newspapers to 1,100, and many new characters were added to the cast. Today, after more than six decades, Mort Walker’s creation is still one of the most popular comic strips in the world.
