Olé! Reeks

A Dutch translation of Mort Walker's military humor strip Beetle Bailey, this series ran for 15 issues from 1972 to 1976 under publisher De Schorpioen. Presenting the classic, long-running gags of the lazy private and his exasperated superiors in a localized format, Olé! Reeks brought Walker's enduring brand of lighthearted barracks comedy to a new audience. It stands as a specific, regional chapter in the global reach of one of the most iconic newspaper comic strips of the 20th century.
