Sad Sack Comics [HD] #33
In "Outsmarted," a classic slice of military humor from Sad Sack Comics #33 (1961), Sadie and Gertie are on night duty in Supply when the Sarge calls, claiming her power’s out and she can’t watch TV. Mishearing “fuse” as “shoes,” Sadie sends a box of size 12 footwear to the irate Sgt. Blast—leading to a comically mistaken delivery that’s pure, deadpan Harvey humor. Written, drawn, and inked by Paul McCarthy, with a cover by George Baker, this free 1961 issue captures the absurdity of military life with quiet, perfectly timed gags.

Sadie and Gertie are working night-shift in Supply and the Sarge leaves early for her quarters to watch TV. When Sarge calls the supply hut and asks for a 'fuse' because her power is out and can't watch TV, Sadie thinks she said 'shoes' and brings a box of size 12 shoes to an irate Sgt. Blast.
