CBS Mornings Video: "Beetle Bailey" celebrates 75 years

 

I chatted with Brian Walker at last month's National Cartoonists Society Reubens convention. He came up to me and said that he had the book. This was before I even had a chance to ask about Mort Walker's Beetle Bailey: 75 Years of Smiles! I had to wait until the next morning when he actually had the book on him. It's massive and wonderfully produced by Fantagraphics. A lot of the scans were done by Brian himself, and it's a gorgeous, fitting tribute to his Dad. Here he is, with his brothers Greg and Chance, chatting about the strip and their Dad and his legacy.
