Summary: Excellent if you love Beetle Bailey
Review: This is a book that I first checked out from my local library about 13 years ago, and after checking it out at least 9 times, I finally found a copy of my own. This book is wonderful, and shows just how brilliant Mort Walker really is. I think it is much better than the more recent 50th anniversary hardcover book, because the focus is so much more on the strip. From Beetle's college days, to his progression through the Army, some of these strips are so funny that you will laugh outloud. Mort keeps his comments short and to the point, preferring to let the strips do the talking. It shows the development of the major characters, those who didn't make it, and even some censored gags, which are great! If you are a fan of Beetle Bailey, or even just comics in general, this book is a goldmine, and well worth buying.
