Beetle Bailey/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Executive Meddling: One strip had General Halftrack demanding a good explaination for why Ms. Buxley was late. He then ogles her after she replies that her bra strap broke. Because of complaints by readers, Mort Walker ended up putting Halftrack through sensitivity training.
    • Also, for unknown reasons, a January 2006 strip had censored Rocky's explaination of his past by claiming he sold cars across the street from the junkyard (originally it was across from the parking lot where he stole the cars). It was shown uncensored in Norway, however.
    • Japan dropped the series from the Stars and Stripes magazine during the 1950s because of disrespect to high-ranking military personnel.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: In the animated series, Beetle Bailey's and General Halftrack's voices were provided by Howard Morris, who also did voices for Wade Duck and Jughead, among others.
  • The comic strip Hi and Lois is in the same reality as Beetle Bailey. Beetle is Lois' brother.
