Trivia: The main character in “Beetle Bailey” is a member of what organization?
U.S. Army
New York Yankees
Greenpeace
IRS
Correct Answer: U.S. Army
So why is this answer correct? : “Beetle Bailey” was created in 1950 by cartoonist Mort Walker. Though Walker originally intended for the comic to take place on a college campus, he pivoted and changed the location to an army base, drawing on his experiences in the military. The U.S. Army actually banned the comic in its early years due to fears that Beetle Bailey’s goofy demeanor would incite disrespect towards officers. Despite the initial controversy, Walker spent 68 years drawing “Beetle Bailey,” the longest continuous work by any comic strip artist.
