Saturday was the 60th anniversary of Beetle Bailey, created by Mort Walker. The comic strip was introduced before Peanuts, and unlike Charlie Brown the premise and setting changed. For most of its run Beetle Bailey has been on an Army base, but it started out with Beetle in college.
There was a series of Beetle Bailey cartoons produced in the 60’s by Al Brodax. The ending of this one I remember very well.
Brodax’s next project was to produce another batch of cartoon Beetles, but they were Beatles.
