This review is from: Beetle Bailey: Take Ten (Mass Market Paperback)

Beetle Bailey is the most intellectual of lazy people, spending as much time and effort in getting out of work as he would if he simply did the work. The cartoons pit him in a constant battle with Sergeant Snorkle and together with the supporting cast they make up Camp Swampy. The strip is a lampoon of military life, where the food is bad and served by a hairy man with a cigarette always dangling from his lips. Superior officers are sometimes twits more interested in demonstrating their superior rank than in showing that they deserve the opportunity to command.
One of the simplest comic strips ever created, Walker has managed to keep the Beetle Bailey strip active and interesting for decades. It was one of my favorites when I was a child and that opinion has never changed.

"Take Ten" is a good collection of older Beetle Bailey cartoons for those who love the strip.
