From Comics to Toons: Beetle Bailey in For Officers Only (1963)

 2025 marks Beetle Bailey's 75th anniversary, as the strip debuted in 1950, and the Walker brothers, Neal, Greg, & Brian, sons of creator Mort Walker, are keeping the series going to this day.

In 1963, Beetle (Howard Morris) and friends scheme to get into a dance that is meant "For Officers Only", although Sgt. Snorkel (Allan Melvin) is saddened to deliver the bad news, because he knows his men deserve a good time as much as he does.

Co-author Bruce Howard also worked on a number of primetime shows in the 70's.


Predictable.

Rating: B.
