Beetle Bailey Joins The Completists' Club

Many of you may shrug, but I was excited to hear that Beetle Bailey was going to be collected in its entirety. I doubt that I'll buy all of it, but I think the strips from the '50s and '60s are very funny! The drawings have a goofy energy, and I like the gags.

It would appear that this isn't a Fantagraphics production (which would make sense, as they have a lot on their plate already), but the brainchild of a publisher called Checker. The cover design is just okay, so who knows what the scans of the strips will be like? Regardless, I'm a sufficiently big Bailey fan to take the plunge for the first book.

There's no release date as of yet, but you can pre-order it for $15.61 + shipping at Amazon.com.
