Beetle Bailey is a newspaper comic distributed by King Features Syndicate that started in 1950, by Mort Walker. Originally it was about some people Walker went to college with, and was set in a university. However, when that idea didn't prove very successful he decided to change it into a military comic instead, drawing on Walker's experiences in the army.It's got an incredibly diverse cast that increases as the years go by, possibly in attempts to boost low ratings or to keep up with the times. The comic used to deal with military issues that were either somewhat relevant, or were funny to those who were already in the army. The series is now run by Mort Walker's son, and much of the tone and theme of the strip has divorced itself from reality in terms of having Beetle and his fellow soldiers remain stationed within the US, oblivious to wars waged overseas.The comic was criticized fairly often through the years due to the sexist way women were portrayed. Though the creator has taken steps to fix this, some sexist aspects still remain.As said before, there's a rich cast of characters, but here's a list of the ones most commonly seen:Beetle: The protagonist of the comic, though he doesn't have all that many protagonistic qualities. He isn't the ideal soldier: He's lazy, fairly mouthy and always gets on Sergeant Snorkel's nerves.Killer: One of Beetle's best buddies, and he's a real ladies' man... apparently. If Beetle's seen in the comic with a friend, it's usually going to be him.Sergeant Orville "Sarge" Snorkel: The Sergeant of Company A, the company of soldiers that Beetle and others are part of. Sarge is a real piece of work, full of character flaws and issues that the comic's creator may or may not be aware of.Otto: Sarge's dog, and quite a bit like his master. Often he gets quite a bit of viewing in the comic.Ms. Buxley: General Halftrack's beautiful secretary. She used to be as dumb as a post, but has developed some since the whole sexism criticism thing. She usually works with Private Blips, Chip Gizmo, and the officers of the camp. She seems to be dating Beetle now, even though there wasn't much to their relationship before a few years ago. Halftrack's other assistant is a mature and rather plain woman called Private Blips. For unknown reasons, she has appeared in every Wednesday strip but five since her introduction.General Amos T. Halftrack: The commander of Camp Swampy. While he has all this power, he's still bullied and henpecked by his wife and so has a lot of pent up sexual frustration. He plays golf every afternoon, really enjoys his liquor, and spends a lot of time thinking about his secretary. The latter caused the media to require him to take Sensitivity Training. These days he's more subtle about it.Plato: The Professor of the camp, somewhat portly with Nerd Glasses. Not much more ambitious than Beetle, but better at staying out of trouble. Used to write thousand-word philosophical graffiti on the bathroom wall. Often seen with Killer.Rocky: Easygoing and very musical, Rocky collects records and hopes to be a big rock star when his hitch is up.Zero: The Fool, a (male) Dumb Blond with buck teeth. His usual role is to be given an order by Sarge embellished with a careless metaphor, which he will proceed to carry out in the most literal manner possible (e.g., if told to "Make it snappy," he will embellish the project with mouse-traps and snapping turtles).Mort Walker died in January 27, 2018, although he had been assisted in previous years by some of his children, he did most of the art until his passing.

Limited Advancement Opportunities
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_1042bae6
comment
Limited Advancement Opportunities: Nobody at Camp Swampy ever gets promoted. But then, nobody at Camp Swampy deserves to be promoted, either, and one of the few times somebody did get promoted (freakin' Beetle!), he refused the call. Ironically more recent strips show Beetle trying to apply to officer school to rise in the ranks. Another time, everyone but one person got up from work and ran to the bulletin board as soon as the promotions were posted. Someone angrily wondered why that one person was the only one promoted. Sarge once got promoted with even more sergeant's stripes. He was walking around admiring them when his raised arm knocked over the General. In the next panel, they were gone.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Happens sometimes between Sarge and Beetle, or Sarge and the privates in his company in general, typically involving a situation where someone is about to leave the company but starts remembering all the good times they've had together. Sometimes subverted instead: One party's happy memories about their times together are ones that make the other angry.

comment
Dumb, but Diligent: Zero gets his nickname from his simple-minded behavior. However, he is very dedicated to his work, despite not always understanding Sarge's orders. In one strip, Sarge voices his frustrations regarding this, noting that Zero always either does a poor job or does it way to well.

Comic-Book Time
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_1989b0c
comment
Comic-Book Time: Extremely little of anything changes, and when it does, it's by arbitrary decision rather than because of time passing. By rights everyone in Camp Swampy should be either removed from the Army due to failing to get promoted in the military's 'up or out' policy, be retired from the Army due to age, or dead from old age at this point. Well, in one story, Beetle was promoted but he didn't want it. Sarge said those were orders from the Pentagon and the promotion would stand unless Beetle did something to warrant demotion as punishment. Beetle then jumped on Sarge until he was demoted for that. In one especially egregious example, this strip has a flashback of Halftrack being a second lieutenant in 1989. To put this in perspective, in the real world 1989, Beetle Bailey had been running in newspapers for nearly four decades at that time.

Always Someone Better

comment
Always Someone Better: Sarge once gets beaten in a swearing contest by another sergeant, stunned by a word so bad even its symbol is censored. Sarge also got upset once when a kid ate one more pizza at Mama Rosa's than he could. LT. Flap, who likes to dress outrageously colourfully, comes back from his holiday shocked. It turns out he's met his better — having visited a Liberace museum.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Medium Awareness had occurred for long, but relatively late in the comic's endless run, the characters became totally aware that they're in a comic strip, though as typical they only refer to it for specific gags. One comic had Sarge tell Beetle he'll get what's coming to him, before chasing him all around the camp. After catching him and beating him up, Sarge says that's enough exercise for one day, and the two go to eat. Then this exchange happens. Another two-panel comic depicted Beetle slacking off again instead of mowing the lawn as ordered. When Sarge demands an explanation, Beetle responds that he can't because Mort (the illustrator) doesn't know how to draw a lawnmower. Cue Sarge giving an Aside Glance.

Reveal Shot: The first panel shows a close-up of someone asking Beetle whether Ms. Buxley had walked past in a bikini. The next panel shows the larger scene with Beetle having stepped in his can of paint and a general mayhem around them with soldiers still staring transfixed and having crashed their cars and whatnot. Yes, she had.

No Sparks: Some readers see Beetle and Ms. Buxley's relationship this way. After they had been 'dating' for about a year, their relationship still never seemed to make it past third date or so. It may be due to 'Status Quo Is God', but you get the impression that the strip's possible ghostwriters don't know what to do with the relationship either. And now even she made a remark in-universe that hints at this. Executive Meddling: Mort is quoted in a Danish Beetle Bailey magazine that it's on purpose that they don't progress beyond third date, since moving it further is sure to alienate the medias that threw General Halftrack into Sensitivity Training.

Ironic Echo: Not quite exact, but Sarge tells Corporal Yo to lie to General Halftrack about going to the Pentagon to find a dog when Sarge is actually going to go to a baseball game. Thanks to their conversation being heard by Halftrack on the phone while Beetle was searching for Sarge, several soldiers roughed up Sarge and asks Halftrack (who ended up stealing Sarge's seat) where they should take Sarge, and Halftrack orders them to "take [Sarge] to the Dog Pound at the Pentagon."

Guile Hero: Say what you like of Beetle, and he certainly isn't very heroic for a start, but he shows considerable cunning in evading Sarge and the other officers... although some of his attempts are admittedly incredibly dumb instead. Plato is even better at it when he does it, and sometimes manages to manipulate people with just a few words, but he doesn't make it so much a sport or hobby as Beetle does.

A fight between Julius and Rocky is shown as pretty hopeless fist-poking. That's understandable with Julius, who's one of the wimpiest characters around — someone once remarked that if he and Lt.

Office Golf: General Halftrack not only goes out golfing a lot even during the workday but also does it in his office frequently (although perhaps not in more recent strips). He's pretty bad at it. In one strip, Ms. Buxley mistakes his genuinely looking for a lost golf ball (with a hand reaching out from under his desk) for sexual harassment. In another, the general is pleased with his performance only to return later to find Beetle replicating the same using the handle of the mop he's supposed to be cleaning the office with.

Noodle Incident: In one strip, the Captain asks where Sarge and Beetle are, before Mort informs him of Beetle and Sarge getting into an argument, leading to Sarge "taking a swing" at Beetle before promptly chasing him into the kitchen where he apparently did something with Cookie's meal, although the Captain cuts him off and tells him that he doesn't want the details and demands that he "cut to the chase." Mort then points out that the chase is occurring, literally, where in addition to Cookie and Sarge chasing him, the balding soldier is also chasing after them while wearing a towel (presumably was in the middle of a bath) and the General being right behind the balding soldier with broken golf clubs. Also qualifies as an In-Universe Off Screen Moment Of Awesome.

Story Arc: Over the decades, there have been a handful of these in the actual strip (longer album stories notwithstanding), includingnote if this is not a full list, it's probably pretty close "Beetle arrives at college", "A random pretty girl at college has a crush on Beetle for no reason (even though he's already dating)", "Beetle joins the Army", "Beetle goes home on furlough alone", "Beetle goes home on furlough with Sarge", "Beetle goes home on furlough with Sarge and Otto", "Beetle goes home on furlough with Sarge, Killer, Plato, Rocky and Zero", "Zero goes home on furlough with Beetle and Sarge", and "Sarge briefly tries to leave the Army but comes back".

Ambiguous Gender: Discussed in a rather intolerant way in an old strip. Beetle wonders out loud whether a random long-haired passer-by is a girl or a guy. Killer sneers that if you can't even tell, he's not interested either way.

Wardrobe Malfunction: The Army supply corps ended up suffering from an unfortunate order mixup delivering pajama bottoms instead of standard army pants to Camp Swampy (which the corps refused to amend their mistake by rationalizing that they are "two legs, same thing, pal!"), and it is implied that this is not the first time such a tragic mixup happened (General Halftrack, when seeing their... new wardrobe, mutters in exasperation "First the berets, now THIS?!")

Speech-Impaired Animal: Otto just barely manages to qualify in a few individual strips, turning his growls into something resembling speech. Most of the time he sticks to using thought bubbles to comment on things — or, rarely, communicate with another animal — sort of like Garfield.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sarge has a soft side, and he's not always very good at hiding it, either. In one strip, Beetle says to Sarge that Plato has been telling lies about him, which turns out to be that he was saying this trope applies. Also appears whenever he spends furlough at Beetle's house — Chigger, Beetle's little brother, hero-worships him, and he's very fond of the boy.

Ping Pong Naïveté: In some strips, Zero is so unfathomably stupid and unable to understand the simplest things that you have to wonder how he got drafted in the first place, or for that matter how he even manages to keep himself alive. In other strips, he seems moderately intelligent and may even have some Wisdom from the Gutter, though he's still naïve and literal-minded. In some strips, Beetle thinks up some genius plans to avoid working. In other strips, his plans to avoid working are incredibly stupid and only work because the Sarge is even stupider - and these plans usually end up being Laborious Laziness.

comment
Misophonia Gag: Lieutenant Fuzz and Sergeant Snorkel share an office. Sarge's old Army desk chair has developed a persistent squeak, inevitable given Sarge's body mass. The chair's routine squeaking annoys the bejesus out of Lt. Fuzz, who used to complain about it. Since Sarge does nothing about the squeaking (in one strip, he tries to amplify it!), Fuzz can only do his paperwork when Sarge is out of the office.

Crazy-Prepared: Combined with Insane Troll Logic in Beetle's college days. The freshmen rebel and throw some older students, Beetle included, into a fountain. Beetle doesn't mind, though, because he thinks he's outsmarted them: he's wearing swimming trunks under his normal clothing. In one Sunday strip, Sergeant Snorkel has several soldiers march through the desert in the event that they have to go over to the Middle East.

Escalating War: Defied in one Sunday strip, eventually. When going out for a three-day holiday, Beetle slaps Sarge on the back just before leaving. He runs after him and whacks him with a chair. After a trashcan thrown from a roof and dynamite, when Beetle is pointing at Sarge with an enormous artillery piece of some sort, Sarge tells him to wait and points out that while what they're doing is fun and all, Beetle should perhaps consider what kind of shape he wants to be in for his holiday.

Reassigned to Antarctica: It's all but implied that Camp Swampy is the U.S. Army's dumping ground for soldiers who are too incompetent, lazy, or misfit for the frontlines, but not to the point of being discharged. Part of this contributes to why nobody but those assigned to Camp Swampy (and the top brass unfortunate enough to be placed in charge of it) actually know where Camp Swampy is.

Genius Ditz: Beetle himself. He is not very smart (he is especially Book Dumb as shown in the early days of the strip when he went to college, but also seems quite oafish in most other areas), but he is not good at manual work either, and he has a rather poor work ethic. This has led to his perpetual laziness and desire to avoid anything that involves thinking or physical work. But if there's one area where he's a natural, it is to concoct intricate schemes or spend a lot of energy to avoid thinking and physical work. So essentially he is good at thinking of how to avoid thinking because he is not good at thinking and working to avoid working because he is not good at working. This, of course, leads to some Laborious Laziness.

Perhaps the biggest setup for a weird situation for someone to walk in on appears in the story where the General finally receives a letter from the Pentagon, informing him that he has to be ready for a major inspection in a week. When the general from the Pentagon lands, in the middle of their combat practice with rockets and ammunition flying all over the place, he's met with Otto barking at his helicopter, Zero dressed as a tree going around saying hi to everyone, Sarge running around happily yelling charge while carrying a sleeping Beetle over his head, the Major up to his neck in a mud pit, LT. Flap returning to the scene in one of his trademark outrageous outfits, Cookie Carrying a Cake and singing happy birthday, and General Halftrack getting drunk in a torn and ragged uniform.

Death Glare: Nobody can look as angry as Sarge. Corporal Yo once analysed him as being a true patriot for displaying all the colours of the US flag when angry. Of course, this means he also often overshoots the trope by looking furious rather than calm. Officers (with the possible exception of Lt. Fuzz) can generally pull this off when they catch someone they outrank doing something they shouldn't. General Halftrack has a tendency to end up being the recipient of the death glare from his wife or secretaries.

Wimp Fight
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_688238d6
comment
Wimp Fight: A fight between Julius and Rocky is shown as pretty hopeless fist-poking. That's understandable with Julius, who's one of the wimpiest characters around — someone once remarked that if he and Lt. Fuzz were to fight, both would lose — but it's odd for Rocky, an ex-gang member and Psycho for Hire wannabe. When Otto peed on the floor of Lt. Fuzz's office, Fuzz yelled at Sarge. Sarge asked what he was going to do about it, and Fuzz tried to beat him up the same way he does to Beetle. The captain gets word of it, and runs out to stop the fight...which consists of a calm Sarge No Selling Fuzz's laughably weak punches. All the soldiers watching break out laughing.

Inner Monologue Conversation: General Halftrack is freaked out when he notices his wife can effectively read his thoughts. She also reacts to that thought. One time, Beetle keeps his mouth shut at Sarge, but gets beaten up anyway for obviously thinking something bad. He complains that he has a sergeant that's both psychopathic and telepathic.

Driven to Suicide: Subverted/parodied: Killer has threatened to kill himself after being told off by his girlfriend. The others find him "doing it slowly" — smoking cigarettes, two at a time. Left hanging another time, in one variation of a reused gag where Beetle overhears the guys planning to pull a prank on him by calling in pretending to be Sarge. Of course, then the real Sarge calls in and buys it when Beetle pretends to be the General and tells him to do something absurd. In this one instance, Beetle says he's disappointed in him and he can just go tie a rock around his neck and jump into water. The last panel shows Sarge about to do so. Of course, it's entirely Played for Laughs and forgotten immediately afterwards; presumably he didn't do it.

Loud Sleeper Gag
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_6fb0f080
comment
Loud Sleeper Gag: One strip has Beetle and his friends make a bet with the soldiers of a neighbour company, that SGT Snorkel snores much louder than theirs. They bring a sleeping Snorkel to the other sergeant's tent. Their bubble speeches have drawings comparing their snoring to things like a jackhammer, a rocket and a volcano, but the other sergeant's snoring makes Snorkel turn around and mumble that it's raining, which is considered forfeit. When the disappointed soldiers bring him back, Snorkel snores like an elephant, making a frustrated Beetle yell, "Shut up! You already had your chance."

Stout Strength: Sergeant Snorkel. According to a one-off strip, when deprived of food he gets even stronger. He also turns a greenish shade and goes berserk in his pursuit of sustenance. "Look out! It's the Incredible Bulk!" It's actually played fairly realistically; he's strong because he works out constantly, and stout because he eats constantly.

Stuffed into a Trashcan: Beetle hides in a trashcan, falls asleep, gets taken away with the trash, and is angry that Sarge won again without even knowing it. Beetle hides in one of three trash cans and, rather than trying to find out which, Sarge shuffles them around like a Shell Game. Sarge has beaten Beetle into a pulp as usual, but after being told he can't just leave him like that conscientiously puts him in a trashcan.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Nobody but those who are assigned to Camp Swampy (besides a few of the high brass who are unfortunate enough to have to oversee it) know where it is actually located. Apparently, the reason for this is not because that information is classified, but because the Army is literally too embarassed to publicly divulge its location.

Deadly Dodging: Unintended: Beetle decides to finally take a swing at Sarge. He dodges down out of the way. In the next panel, Sarge is actually rather glad that that one didn't hit, as Beetle's arm is now wound around his neck and shoulders several times, strangling him. Inverted: Sarge takes a swing at Beetle and misses, causing him to fall down and roll for several metres before hitting a wall. He then comments he missed because it was the first time Beetle didn't try to dodge.

Abhorrent Admirer: A few one-shot characters, Killer to some women, but most of all SGT. Louise Lugg to SGT. Snorkel. They actually sort of dated at one point, but the only explanation given to how that ever happened was that she forced him into it. It's ironic, anyway, as an earlier strip shows him imagining his ideal woman as a female version of himself, which Lugg was (admittedly without the bodybuilder figure).

Sarge then appears and demands "More plewds! Keep plewding!"

Used to be justified in-comic: General Halftrack's superiors know how bad he is (or they have even suppressed his existence), and don't want to risk anything by involving him in it. It was a running gag that the General would wait anxiously for "orders from the Pentagon" that would never arrive because of this. When they did, in an album story, the eventual inspection was such a disaster the Pentagon felt at a liberty to go on ignoring him. A conversation in the story went about like this:

Just Toying with Them: Beetle is sometimes shown as such a better runner than Sarge that he can annoy him further by reading a newspaper while being chased by him — or these days, surf the internet.

Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_9aee92b4
comment
Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better: Other dogs and cats usually go at all fours, but after Otto got fitted with a miniature uniform, he's stood mostly on two legs. A couple of times he's been shown going on a date with his date also walking on two legs, perhaps because it would have looked weirdly unequal otherwise.

Rule 34
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_9be2ef69
comment
Rule 34: Mort Walker once drew Ms. Buxley nude and released the drawing as a limited edition series of art prints. Walker and his staff make several dirty gag strips that never get past the sketch level. Mostly, they do this for their own amusement, but some of the strips has been published in Scandinavian magazines.

Continuity Nod
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Beetle's girlfriend from college, Buzz, stayed around for a while after he went into the army, but then was forgotten. (She showed up in a strip in 2008 or so, which may have been some kind of Continuity Nod, and was almost appropriate since the strip involved a letter about old stuff back home.) At some point, he started dating a new girl called Bunny; since about 2002 or so, she's also vanished without a trace.

In some strips, Beetle thinks up some genius plans to avoid working. In other strips, his plans to avoid working are incredibly stupid and only work because the Sarge is even stupider - and these plans usually end up being Laborious Laziness.

The Un-Smile: Appears once when Beetle is depressed. Dr. Bonkus first tells him to smile, but seeing the result asks him to go back to looking sad. When Sarge is supposed to smile for a photograph, he has a really hard time with it because he supposedly never wears such a nice expression. Of course, in truth he smiles all the time.

Animated Adaptation: There was a TV series in 1963-64, often paired with animated versions of Snuffy Smith and Krazy Kat (known collectively as the King Features Trilogy, produced by Al Brodax). Beetle's and General Halftrack's voices was Howard Morris, Sgt. Snorkel's was Allan Melvin. There was also an animated special that was produced in 1989, but went unaired and wasn't seen until it was released on DVD in the 2000s (King Features/Hearst had many of their comic strips- Blondie, Cathy, Hagar the Horrible- tried as animated specials during that time).

Status Quo Is God: Among other things, the reason why no one ever gets a promotion. Two longer album stories use this to make their storylines especially notable: In one, Sarge actually manages to lose weight, while Lt. Fuzz tries to Take a Level in Badass; in the other, the General finally receives orders from Pentagon. Both end with the status quo returning with a vengeance.

When Otto peed on the floor of Lt. Fuzz's office, Fuzz yelled at Sarge. Sarge asked what he was going to do about it, and Fuzz tried to beat him up the same way he does to Beetle. The captain gets word of it, and runs out to stop the fight...which consists of a calm Sarge No Selling Fuzz's laughably weak punches. All the soldiers watching break out laughing.

Retool: The switch from college to army. Though the one-strip joke about Beetle being snatched when he accidentally enters an army recruitment office to hide from his girlfriend is subsequently ignored, it's followed by a Story Arc about how and why he joins the army after that, and his college life is largely forgotten for the rest of the series, though his old girlfriend hangs on for a while and his parents remain a fixture. Most people have forgotten that Hi and Lois is supposed to be a spin-off with his sister.

Verbal Judo: Beetle has lots of tricks for avoiding Sarge's incoming rage. Usually this involves distracting him, especially by making him think of food, but also invoking other things such as John Wayne. He's also confused him by shouting back to him as if to an inferior or at most an equal, which he can't handle since it's so much out of the norm. That said, Beetle ends up being beaten into a pulp more often than not, sometimes in spite of an attempt at Verbal Judo.

Epic Fail: Cookie manages to make soup that is too tough to cut with a knife... and steak that is too tough to cut with a machine gun and grenades. Zero has difficulties doing things right. When firing a cannon, he manages to do it wrong by making it go MOOB instead of BOOM. He also can't sleep in a tent right: instead of both legs sticking out at one end, he has one sticking out of each end. Sarge sees the line to the Mess Hall isn't moving. Attempting to get to the front to see what's holding everyone up, he discovers the line makes a complete circle around the building without going into it.

Hypocritical Humor
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_b707726f
comment
Hypocritical Humor: More than once: A group of officers gathered to judge a breach of the dress code criticise it while wearing an array of pretty random clothes themselves. Also other similar cases. Perhaps more often, it's done the other way around, with three parties, not getting as far as the trope: A tries to complain about B's behaviour X to their superior C, but it turns out C is doing X himself. Another one used in several variants: A criticises B for their hobby or obsession or habit, only to return to their own room/bunk, where they have a similar collection of things/arrangement/whatever going on set around another theme. For example, Corporal Yo notes Sarge's huge collection of food-related electronics before returning to his own room full of different electronics. Or Sarge says it's weird of Beetle to collect comic books, only to have someone else point to his shelf full of different empty beer cans. There's a 2009 Sunday strip showing just what collections everybody has◊. General Halftrack's "Have you gone mad! I'm an airplane!" (He'd been hypnotised.) For a whole page, Sarge is heard singing different songs in the shower. Killer wonders how someone can stay in the shower for so long. He's spent the same time doing up his hair.

Demoted to Extra: Several characters who aren't victims of the Chuck Cunningham Syndrome end up as background characters or very minor characters who only feature in some very rare strips. One notable example is Captain Sam Scabbard, who actually used to be a quite important character in that he was the Sarge's Straight Man, but whose appearances grew increasingly rare. He still appears in the odd strip, but sometimes so much time passes between every time that you'd start thinking the creators had forgotten all about him.

comment
It Makes Sense in Context: Happens a lot in-universe, when a strip or other comic builds up a weird situation that someone then walks in on or sees only partially. It's a Running Gag that the General walks around and sees things that leave him completely puzzled. Makes Just as Much Sense in Context: ...Then again, the soldiers have taken to intentionally doing weird stuff just to confuse the General and invoke the running gag. Perhaps the biggest setup for a weird situation for someone to walk in on appears in the story where the General finally receives a letter from the Pentagon, informing him that he has to be ready for a major inspection in a week. When the general from the Pentagon lands, in the middle of their combat practice with rockets and ammunition flying all over the place, he's met with Otto barking at his helicopter, Zero dressed as a tree going around saying hi to everyone, Sarge running around happily yelling charge while carrying a sleeping Beetle over his head, the Major up to his neck in a mud pit, LT. Flap returning to the scene in one of his trademark outrageous outfits, Cookie Carrying a Cake and singing happy birthday, and General Halftrack getting drunk in a torn and ragged uniform.

Accidental Hero: Beetle of all people receives a medal for being an exemplary worker. It starts when he gives his usual kind of lip ("I could do that, if I wanted to") to Sarge "asking" him to clean up some graffiti. Sarge gets angry and gives a violence-laden order for him to want to do it, then. When he's cleaning the wall, Killer happens by and asks why he's doing it, to which Beetle replies with angry sarcasm that it's because he wants to. The General also happens to walk by and is impressed by this dedication.

Anthropomorphic Shift: Happens in-universe with Otto; one strip shows his coming to wear clothes and walk upright as a result of rivalry between Sarge and another sergeant who were competing through their pets. Apparently it stuck, since he's now long been like that permanently.

The Neidermeyer: Lt. Fuzz is quite pompous and demanding while absolutely failing to impress anyone ever. Sarge can at least inspire fear and some love-hate, and can be a competent badass at times, so he's somewhere between The Neidermeyer and Sergeant Rock.

Wingding Eyes
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_c02925f0
comment
Wingding Eyes: Though apparently just eyes is not enough. Concentric circles and such have been spotted. In one strip, the characters notice that a passed-out character's eyes really do turn into X's, even though they say that's supposed to only happen in comics. Chip Gizmo has once been spending too much time on the computer, as evidenced by his right eye having turned into a :), left eye into a @, and mouth into ----. Cosmo has Wingding Ears, as seen in one strip — fitting his personality, his ears contain a dollar sign (instead of the slightly similar squiggle usually drawn inside ears).

Neck Lift: Sarge does this often, usually to Beetle when about to beat him up. With Beetle's neck being thinner than Sarge's fingers, it sometimes involves the victim's neck being entirely enclosed within the fist holding him up. In the strip for December 15th 2012, Sarge does this to the maitre d' of a restaurant who says that they don't serve dogs.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_c33ba0a8
comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Lots of characters disappear without explanation over the years. Beetle's girlfriend from college, Buzz, stayed around for a while after he went into the army, but then was forgotten. (She showed up in a strip in 2008 or so, which may have been some kind of Continuity Nod, and was almost appropriate since the strip involved a letter about old stuff back home.) At some point, he started dating a new girl called Bunny; since about 2002 or so, she's also vanished without a trace. Many Privates, such as Bammy, Ozone and Pops. They could have actually got out of the army, though there was a strip in 2011 with apparent cameos in a crowd, including at least Bammy.

comment
Double Think: Plato invokes this trope as a demonstration of how an officer's mind works by handing Lt. Fuzz a black piece of paper and lying that the General said it was white, but... This prompts Fuzz to go on a rant about how you shouldn't question your superiors and how it all may be of vital importance somehow and culminating with his holding up the black paper and declaring firmly that it is white. The General happens to be passing by the window and, without looking particularly surprised, just thinks he's nuts.

Dude Looks Like a Lady: In one strip, Dr. Bonkus is finishing his talk with Julius (who is a bit heavy and looks very young, with lots of blond curly hair, and is characterised as effeminate) and tells him that many young people can be a little confused about their sexual identity but he thinks he has nothing to worry about. It's then revealed the doctor has been taking him to be a woman all the time, as he addresses him as "miss" when he's leaving.

In some strips, Zero is so unfathomably stupid and unable to understand the simplest things that you have to wonder how he got drafted in the first place, or for that matter how he even manages to keep himself alive. In other strips, he seems moderately intelligent and may even have some Wisdom from the Gutter, though he's still naïve and literal-minded.

Beyond the Impossible
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_cc6f4612
comment
Beyond the Impossible: Invoked: If the General has a headache and Sarge ORDERS you to fire a cannon quietly, then you fire it quietly. Beetle is slower than everyone else even when parachuting down from a plane. LT. Fuzz is so reluctant to jump from a plane to parachute down that he stays hanging from a cloud. Beetle and Sarge have followed a road that goes nowhere and are in fact standing on air a little beyond a cliff. Among the geographical features that were at one time featured regularly, there's a particular river that's so fickle and constantly changing its course that the soldiers have to make an effort to avoid it when setting up their tent in one strip. They think they're safe when they reach higher ground, but the river follows them anyway because it doesn't know water can't run uphill. Killer peeks through a knothole at some women at a swimming pool. Next, people are wondering how he managed to get his head stuck on the other side of the hole, which is just the size of his neck (his neck being drawn as very thin as usual). When someone says it's impossible, Beetle says that "he's impossible." Sarge comes into the lounge and announces he wants to watch football on TV. The others try to convince him the football season is over, but he picks up the set and shouts "I WANT $#?!@ FOOTBALL!", shaking it until he gets a football game. The scary part is that he sees this as perfectly normal.

Literal-Minded: Zero. Usually Comically Missing the Point. Anyone who talks to Zero seems to be suffering from Aesop Amnesia, as they continue to use sarcasm on him, even though they should know by now that he will always take them seriously. Sometimes after giving an order, the person realizes his mistake too late to correct it. Ms. Buxley when she was being portrayed as dumb. Louise Lugg says she wishes two men would fight over her. Sarge tries to arrange this by having her lie down on the ground with Sarge and Beetle having a boxing match above. Cookie tells Beetle to write a note for the notice board exhorting the soldiers to eat everything on their plates. His being lazy and just writing "eat everything" results in their raiding the kitchen.

Said last countries focus on the American Zero's buck teeth instead, upon which his name is "Dentino" (Italy) and "Dentinho" (Brazil).

Expy: Between versions of the comic itself — Private Plato was a pretty obvious transplant into the army from the Plato back in college earlier. They do have somewhat different personalities, but the first one didn't have much personality beyond "The Smart Guy (with glasses)". (Besides, though this is extrapolation beyond anything that has been stated in the comic, it wouldn't be surprising if a guy who wants to think all the time would be the hard worker in college but a slacker in the army.)

Mildly Military: Among other things, 40+ years of the characters in basic training and largely no suggestion that the characters will be ever shipped out on assignments in any of the major U.S. wars that have happened during the life of the strip. Not to mention that if Camp Swampy is considered an embarrassment for the US Army, then the post Cold War wave of closures of US military bases in the 1990s would have been the perfect excuse to get rid of it while General Halftrack could have been retired by the Pentagon.

Aside Glance
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_e8e3807
comment
Another two-panel comic depicted Beetle slacking off again instead of mowing the lawn as ordered. When Sarge demands an explanation, Beetle responds that he can't because Mort (the illustrator) doesn't know how to draw a lawnmower. Cue Sarge giving an Aside Glance.

Watch the Paint Job: Sarge's jeep often gets abused or sometimes even completely destroyed by the main characters, often to Sarge's chagrin.

Big Ball of Violence
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_ed23decc
comment
Big Ball of Violence: Almost any Sarge/Beetle fight. Beetle also manages to make one by himself, when it appears he has attacked Sarge but is not even touching him because he's not that crazy. (They're sometimes portrayed as able to have a fight; sometimes so that Sarge is far superior.) Sarge also made one by himself when he was enraged at Beetle's latest screwup but the camp chaplain told him to stop hitting Beetle. Sarge managed to restrain himself, but was still so angry he started attacking himself.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_ee7ed46e
comment
The Soldiers Who Don't Do Anything: The strip is intended to be specifically about the foibles of the peacetime army. Accordingly, we never see the soldiers do any soldiering. They have sometimes appeared crawling on the ground in the middle of what could be real combat with no context given, but given the general context of the strip, this was unlikely to be anything other than practice. Used to be justified in-comic: General Halftrack's superiors know how bad he is (or they have even suppressed his existence), and don't want to risk anything by involving him in it. It was a running gag that the General would wait anxiously for "orders from the Pentagon" that would never arrive because of this. When they did, in an album story, the eventual inspection was such a disaster the Pentagon felt at a liberty to go on ignoring him. A conversation in the story went about like this: Rather oddly used back in the Vietnam days; there were several instances when Sarge pined to go to war, when all he would have had to do would have been to say he wants to go; they weren't picky at Vietnam.

 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_ee9fc22
comment
I Broke a Nail: This turns out to be the reason Sgt. Louise Lugg mauled a guy so badly while playing American football. The trope is played straight and she's shown "emotionally" crying over it; the comic in general repeatedly plays with her combination of masculine aggressiveness and feminine sensitivity.

comment
Late to the Punchline: One strip starts with unexplained laughter in the middle of the night, which turns out to be Zero reacting to a joke told during the day. Sarge and the guys are coming back from a movienote it sounds kind of like the first Pink Panther film that Sarge says wasn't too funny. Turns out he didn't fully understand what was happening, and after they explain it to him, he's laughing for what looks like hours afterwards.

Battle of Wits: Constant between Sarge and Beetle (and to some extent privates in general). Sometimes more "brains vs. brawn", but Sarge has plenty of cunning of his own in many strips.

Distracted by the Sexy: Common with both the soldiers and the General on numerous occasions, most commonly with Ms. Buxley. They eventually had put up a traffic sign forbidding her from entering a certain area due to all the confusion she regularly caused by walking by.

Spider-Sense: In one strip, Sarge can sense when Beetle is about to start slacking off, but it doesn't help him catch him doing it, because Beetle can sense when Sarge is coming the same way.

 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_f1d3f0c9
comment
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Plato has been known to use verbose and abstract language, naturally enough since it's part of the stereotype he represents. On one occasion, he used it to gain access to a telephone meant only for official business by expressing his intentions so fancily the secretary didn't realise he was saying he was inviting his buddy over to the bar with the rest of them.

comment
The Alleged Car: Sarge's Willys Jeep is often in a state of disrepair, which leads to no end of trouble when he actually has to use it for something. Given the heaps of abuse that Beetle and other characters (sometimes even Sarge himself) pile upon the poor thing, its condition is hardly surprising.

 Beetle Bailey (Comic Strip) / int_f329f2a2
comment
Got Volunteered: Lots of times, usually done by Sarge to Beetle. In the cartoon Cosmo's Naught: Volunteers have to walk the distance of 50 miles. Beetle Bailey, Zero and Cosmo complain how ill they are until Sarge tell them to shut up and that if anyone of the soldiers need to see the doctor they should go. Everyone except Beetle Bailey, Zero and Cosmo immediately run away leaving the three back as the volunteers. "I need three volunteers: You, you and you." Sarge asks for anyone volunteering to raise his hand — knowing that Beetle's arm is in a cast so he can't put it down. Sarge asks which of the soldiers have had college education, then tells them (Beetle and Plato) to follow him, and leads them to work in the kitchen. He looks genuinely surprised when asked what that has to do with education. "Nothing, why?" Once Sarge simply raises Beetle's hand for him.

Insult Backfire: Not an insult as such, but still a negative comment, which is enough for the trope. The Chaplain asks worriedly whether Sarge has gained more weight again. Sarge thanks him for noticing, saying that it took him a lot of effort to become so big and important.

Zero. Usually Comically Missing the Point. Anyone who talks to Zero seems to be suffering from Aesop Amnesia, as they continue to use sarcasm on him, even though they should know by now that he will always take them seriously. Sometimes after giving an order, the person realizes his mistake too late to correct it.
