Grumpy Swampy

Thusday Camp Swampy Day. 

Over the years I have shared many many many Beetle Bailey Sundays and dalies. And even so, I have not scratched the surface. I certainly have plenty more to clean and add. Usually when I start cleaned a couple of my scans, I start with the oldest. Which is why I probably have more of those on this blog than anything else. Still, in the sprit of balance, for once I decided to start at the other end. The latest one I have were from the eighties. The style had simplified by then. And some of the more exstreme jokes seem to have been left out more often. But still, it holds up very well. 

 

Funny Soldier Guy

Tuesday Random Day. 

I promised more posts, so here is another post. Some early Beetle Baileys, from when he still had a friend that was a llot like him. I think the wider version of the last gag was from some paper that anted to have more strips to a page. The extra art seems added on.

More Mort Morsels

 Saturday Leftover Day.

I have been scanning and cleaning some new samples of series that have been featured here before (heavily). Today's lot of Beetle Bailey Sundays are only a fraction of what I have done in total plus what is still waiting for me to clean. Of course I started with the earliest ones, from my favorite 1956/1963 period. You can click on the link to show more (but be prepared to scrll through lots and lots of pages). Or come back tomorrow for a great announcement plus some rare Mort Walker material.

I'll Be At The Barracks For Christmas

Sunday Repeat Offender day.

I think I have the actual dailies upstairs, but finding them in an online paper put together six a week, saves too much time. Here are the three months leading up to Christmas 1953. Beetle had just joined the army. For some reason Mort Walker never did a lot of Christmas gags with Beetle Bailey. The first year he was in the army, he did not even go hime.

Turning another Bailey leaf

I feel like Beetle Bailey today.

All early ones, have a special look at the ones where he goes home to his mom and dad... and his little brotehr.
