Beetle Bailey was a fav of mine growing up. Wonder if it's going to just start doing repeats like Peanuts or get dumped for something else now that Walker has passed.

Fuck. I have so many books and read them growing up too.

I knew I knew the name.
I wonder how the military is taking it.

He's a Mizzou alumn and there are multiple Beetle Bailey statues on campus in his honor, as well as a restaurant called Morts. I'm guessing they'll do something there.

I'm pretty sure most of his newspaper comic preservation stuff is at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Musuem here at Ohio State University. They'll probably do something too.

Hi and Lois was one of his, too. Sad to hear.

Hi and Lois is a spin-off of Beetle Bailey. Yeah, I didn't know ether. Apparently Lois is Beetle's sister.
