Beetle Bailey has over 200 million daily readers and appears in almost 2,000 newspapers worldwide. Few strips have the popularity and staying power of Beetle Bailey, able to entertain readers for over five decades. As creator or co-creator of eight other popular comic strips, including Hi & Lois and Boner's Ark, Mort Walker is the most widely published cartoonist in comics history. It's a testament to Walker's genius and Beetle's universal appeal. Walker created Beetle Bailey just before the Korean War, and the strip has evolved into a comics page staple where the fun, but ineffectual, denizens of Camp Swampy exist in a place long forgotten by the Pentagon. At the bottom of the heap is Beetle Bailey, the eternal private who sees his duty as sleeping whenever possible, needling Sarge, and avoiding work at all costs. But Sergeant Orville P.

But that doesn't keep the troops from complaining, or getting into one hilarious mess after another. Beetle Bailey, the character, may never get a promotion, but Beetle Bailey, the comic strip,
