Financial trickery hits the panels of "Beetle Bailey"
Now we know why the armed forces are such a drain on our national budget.
In today's strip of "Beetle Bailey" (seen here), the attractive camp secretary Ms. Buxley takes Beetle for a meal - then admits she's been padding her expense account by paying for his food! "You're known as 'miscellaneous' on my expense account," she proudly announces. And the way she says it tells us this isn't the first time she's used U.S. Army funds to pay for a rendezvous with what is perhaps the laziest solider ever to serve in our nation's ranks.
I suppose she'll get away with it because a) though she's drawn much less provocatively than she has been in the past, Ms. Buxley is still one of the va-va-va-voomiest comic-strip characters this side of Brenda Starr, Luann, or the mom in "Marvin": and b) her boss, General Halftrack, is a known dimwit.
Keep on spending our defense budget, Ms. Buxley. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan thank you!
