Beetle Bailey, the Private who'd rather drop and nap than drop and do 20, is the wise-cracking joker of the most famous Army camp, Camp Swampy, where befuddled General Halftrack still hasn't heard from the Pentagon, grumbling Sgt. Snorkle has never had a date and Cookie still makes those high-bouncing meatballs. Join Beetle Bailey and his army buddies and sound off with laughter.
