One of the joys of “Beetle Bailey” was that everyone who had been in the Army could always “identify” who, what, and where each strip was about ;-)
In 1966 our college had an American Arts Festival. They invited and paid a good price to have performers entertain but the main event was three intellectuals were seated on a flat bed truck in a pleasant park.
One was Al Capp and the other two skip my mind right now. Anyway, Al Capp was about ten times smarter than the others and also more entertaining. Actually I think another one was Walt Kelley. Can’t recall the third.
Also a great balladeer Art Schreader. Also Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys.
