Beetle Bailey was a cartoon I always read when I had accesss to a newspaper. I didn't know about the censorship. I can't imagine why a belly button would warrant a censor. You have been able to come up with so much information that I didn't know about this strip. I like Hagar the Horrible too.

Hi Brett, this is really interesting, and I'm learning. Now, just to make one thing clear. I've never been into comic strips nor cartoons. They just don't do anything.for me. But, I'm not surprised if they made it into the Scandinavian market. We've always been open minded, if I may phrase it like that. All best, Ulla:)))

Hello Brett,
much like your other posts about cartoons, this was well researched and interesting, delving into much more than I ever knew about the comic strip and it's characters. Thanks for sharing. Well done.
Have a blessed evening.

An interesting and informative post. Yes, censorship and its role and place in the arts is an interesting conundrum. Belly buttons, politics, disrepect for .... Thanks for sharing your well researched piece.

Your articles about the people who write cartoons shows one thing common to them all, they have their fingers in many pies and don't seem to have enough time to sleep.

Well done Brett for this marvellously illuminated article on these most inspiringly named cartoon characters, good writers are perfectly qualified to give most apt names and the functional names go cleverly with the characters, well done Brett, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoyed reading. 'Beetle Bailey' has been a favorite for a long while. I am also familiar with 'Hagar The Horrible'. I can't wait to learn more about that comic strip. I couldn't find any way to improve this post.
