Publisher's Synopsis
From the very first Beetle Bailey strips on a college campus through Beetle's enlistment in the US army, this volume contains the first two years of Mort Walker's famous trips encompassing September 1950 through June 1952. Readers can now enjoy two separate casts of quirky characters, the first based on Moart Walker's fraternity brothers at the University of Missouri and the second on his Korean era stint in the Army. These are the strips that won him the Ruben Award in 1953. With an introduction by Mort Walker himself.
