Sad Sack & The Sarge

    (Harvey, 1957-1982)
™ and ©1971 Harvey Comic Publications and George Baker

Sad Sack, along with Beetle Bailey, is the quintessential military humor strip of postwar America and one of the flagship characters in Harvey’s publishing enterprise. The goofy buck private and his hard-nosed drill sergeant, Sarge, head up a cast of army-based caricatures whose broad parody of barracks life struck a familiar chord with returning servicemen after World War II. The U.S. Government obligingly continued to provide wars and a military system worthy of satire, which helped to keep Sad Sack’s brand of humor current and topical with new generations of GIs through the 1950s, 1960s and into the 1970s. Sad Sack and the Sarge is a spinoff of the original Sad Sack title, focusing on Sarge, his dog, the General, the camp cook, and Sad Sack’s sweetheart, Sadie Sack.
