Beetle Bailey is an American comic strip created by cartoonist Mort Walker, published since September 4, 1950. [2] It is set on a fictional United States Army post. In the years just before Walker's death in 2018 (at age 94), it was among the oldest comic strips still being produced by its original creator. [1]
- IT STARTED AS A COLLEGE CAMPUS COMEDY. Walker’s initial idea for a strip didn’t feature any fatigues or military equipment. While drawing cartoons for The Saturday Evening Post, he decided to try creating a story around a university student named Spider who kept his hat pulled over his eyes and tried to navigate college life by doing as little as possible.
- IT WAS BANNED BY THE U.S. MILITARY. In the 1950s, Beetle Bailey took its place as a steady but otherwise unremarkable addition to the comics pages. Then Walker got an unexpected promotional boost.
- IT WAS CRITICIZED FOR INTRODUCING A BLACK CHARACTER. In 1970, Walker “integrated” Beetle’s Camp Swampy by introducing Lt. Jack Flap, a black enlistee.
- EDITORS BANNED WALKER FROM DRAWING BELLY BUTTONS. For decades, comic strips were perceived as being an all-ages form of entertainment and were often subjected to extreme forms of censorship.
