‘Beetle Bailey’ cartoonist Mort Walker dies at 94

quote [ Walker’s work ethic was defined by “Beetle Bailey,” the longest-running comic strip drawn by its original creator in the history of comics, but he published eight other strips at various points of his career. Among those was “Hi and Lois,” a “Beetle” spinoff he launched in 1954 with Dik Browne, future creator of “Hagar the Horrible.” ]

I’ll never forget the cartoon. The episode where the barrack overflowed with cake ingredients and they have to eat their way out of it. Made me want cake.

Now I want cake.

I used to love that cartoon wen I was a kid —and I still love it. Here in Italy it has been conspicuously translated and published for many, many years.
One of the sweetest forms of post-WWII North Atlantic military stronghold I ever experienced :)

I didn't even know there was a cartoon of it, we only had the translated comics over here. Now I'll need to find them on youtube.

He's probably just goldbricking again. Wait 'til Sarge finds out!
