Beetle Bailey is an American comic strip created by cartoonist Mort Walker, published since September 4, 1950. It is set on a fictional United States Army post. In the years just before Walker's death in 2018 (at age 94), it was among the oldest comic strips still being produced by its original creator. Over the years, Mort Walker had been assisted by (among others) Jerry Dumas, Bob Gustafson, Frank Johnson and Walker's sons, Neal, Brian and Greg Walker, who are continuing the strip after his death.

Beetle was originally a college student at Rockview University, September 4, 1950. Although he was as lazy in college as he would be in the service, he did have a broken down jalopy and was the star of the track team (apparently on a scholarship). He had four friends: Bitter Bill; Diamond Jim; Freshman and Sweatsock. He also smoked a pipe (although he gave that up after he enlisted in the Army). The characters in that early strip were modeled after Walker's Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers at the University of Missouri. On March 13, 1951, during the strip's first year, Beetle quit school and enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he has remained ever since. His reason for enlisting was because he was running away after being nearly trapped by both his angry jealous first girlfriend "Buzz" and a second girl who was chasing him.The most expensive item with a signature of Beetle Bailey (Dell (469) 1953 Beetle Bailey #1 Issue Signed By Mort Walker - Ultra Rare!) was sold in July 2019 for $369.00 while the cheapest item (MORT WALKER SIGNED QUESTIONNAIRE CREATOR OF BEETLE BAILEY COMIC STRIP NEWSPAPER) found a new owner for $0.59 in May 2016.
