Mort Walker's Beetle Bailey: 75 Years of Smiles #[nn]

Seven and a half decades of Camp Swampy shenanigans get a proper celebration in this Fantagraphics tribute written and edited by Brian Walker. The cover sets the festive tone perfectly — the whole gang is gathered outdoors for what looks like a birthday party, with a chef presenting a layered cake, soldiers and familiar faces raising glasses around a picnic spread, all rendered in Mort Walker's warmly expressive style. It's a genuinely joyful snapshot of one of comics' most enduring strips, making this 2025 volume a fitting toast to 75 years of smiles.
