Beetle Bailey: Home Sweet Swampy

[@marctompkins3001]

I remember a completely different description for: S.O.S

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Exactly.

[@HC-cb4yp]

That's pretty adorable.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Too bad that Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo never visited Camp Swampy.

[@martinjohnson7225]

That ending is really very friendly for Beetle and Snorkel

"Stew on a shingle" - A cleaned up version of "shit on a shingle". 🤣

When I was in AK for a year at an isolated radar site they used to save all that weeks leftover food and then mince it, chop it, and layer it on top of biscuit dough with mashed potatoes and gravy ! Sounds good right ; I called it “Ambush Stew or Casserole “. You eat it now and it attacks you about 1-2 hours later! And you better be close to a latrine and have plenty of TP, as it would blast right out of you ! Lysol won’t kill the odor and pine disinfectant works but you had to keep spraying it ! Opening the windows worked but had downwind of it ! Give me SOS any day versus that item ; at least I can see what’s inside it , the other stuff could beef, chicken, pork, or fish ! You never knew what surprises were in it ( 😝):

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Perhaps so.

[@Hobosmalls]

My wife for 22 years has no idea who Beetle Bailey is. Surprises me indeed.

LOIS FLAGSTONS BROTHER

[@michaelleonard4826]

They just don't make cartoons like this anymore. What a great cartoonist.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

How puzzling.

[@Hobosmalls]

3:41 Fearless Fly theme music

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

How about if maybe the whole platoon was to get an honorable discharge, and then they all converge on Arlen, Texas, and Rainey Street where they become neighbors to propane salesman Hank Hill?

[@2005dave]

Correct. This cartoon was prepared for theatrical release and so Winston Sharples provided a full score. When the Beetle cartoons were made for TV, the stock package of music collated by Sharples and Hal Seeger was utilized. Of course, Seeger could use whatever music Sharples composed for the Paramount cartoons and that's how a cue from this cartoon became more associated with Seeger's Fearless Fly character, as seen on The Milton The Monster Show.

I feel sorry for sgt. Snorkel

[@allenlovell1604]

OMG, feels like I entered a time-machine taking back to the 1960's! I used to watch this cartoon series as a child and so many others. Thanks for bringing back a classic from the cartoon crypt , KZbin ! Curious who did the voices though? 🤔

[@paulsarnik8506]

Alan Melville and Howard Morris for the most part. Melville Sgt. Snorkel, Zero, Killer. Morris Beetle, Gen. Halftrack. 🇺🇲🤓😎✌🏻

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

My oldest son always watched the reruns back when they were part of “THE BOZO SHOW” on WGN in the 1980s.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

How many fans out there who would like to see Beetle Bailey getting an honorable discharge, and becoming a neighbor to Texas propane salesman Hank Hill?

[@LittleAbigail.]

S.O.S is Bisquick and gravy

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Tell it to Cooky.
