Beetle Bailey is actually me, in uniform. I’ve got about 20 characters, and they’re all after friends of mine. Mort Walker
When the war was over and the guys were back to shaving every day, the editor thought the Beetle Bailey strips were hurting their disciplinary efforts to get the guys back to routine. Mort Walker
In its heyday, the car was an expression of technical flair and design genius: the original Mini, the Beetle, the 2CV, and the Fiat 500 were all, in their various ways, inspired incarnations of functionality. Martin Jacques
For Tim Burton’s birthday I gave him a rainbow beetle. He loved it! Eva Green

Humor strips dominated what were called the funny papers early in the century, but by the 1920s and ’30s, adventure strips had taken over. With ‘Beetle Bailey,’ I revived the funny part of the funny papers, and I’d be proud to be remembered for that. Mort Walker
Maybe the bar is low, but most of the strips that are 50, 60, 70 years old that are on their second or third generation of artists, the humor is pretty bland. There are others by people that were raised on ‘Family Guy’ or ‘South Park’ that are edgier. Mine’s not as edgy as those, but it’s edgier than ‘Beetle Bailey.’ Stephan Pastis
I had a Super Beetle that I restored and painted deep purple in honor of Jimi Hendrix that was stolen. After that, I got a Ford Falcon that had no windshield wipers, so whenever it rained – which, thankfully, in L.A. it doesn’t do very much – I’d have to lean out my driver’s side window like ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.’ Tamara Taylor
Worm or beetle – drought or tempest – on a farmer’s land may fall, Each is loaded full o’ ruin, but a mortgage beats ’em all. Will Carleton
Behind the scenes, I’m friends with everyone at work, but without a doubt, my best friend is Bray Wyatt. The man pretty much brought me into the industry when they tagged me up with The Wyatt Family; it was my seventh match I’d ever had. I didn’t know the difference between a headlock and a beetle throw. Braun Strowman
Belly buttons were a big battle of mine. Down at the syndicate, they would clip them out with a razor blade. I began putting so many of them in, in the margins and everywhere, that they had a little box down there called ‘Beetle Bailey”s Belly-Button Box. The editors finally gave up after I did one strip showing a delivery of navel oranges. Mort Walker
Forests in Colorado and the West that once had 50-100 trees per acre are now dangerously overcrowded with 500-1,000 trees per acre. Our forests are overgrown and poorly managed, making them more susceptible to large wildfires, disease, and bark beetle attacks. Lauren Boebert
My dad is an entomologist and research chemist. That’s why he was in Fiji, studying the rhinoceros beetle invasive species. Jeff Vandermeer
When I write ‘Beetle Bailey,’ I can always do jokes about him being lazy, and everyone gets it. Mort Walker
The frustration of being ordered around by somebody to do something – everyone can relate to that. I think Beetle represents that – the common man caught in that morass of rules and regulations. I don’t even think of it as an army strip… it’s a world anyone can understand. Mort Walker
I invent words you think you’ve heard – spray hopper or swag beetle. Jim Crace
The Cinquecento was an engine of motivation at Fiat. It refurbished the image of the entire company. It’s a symbol for the company, but it’s more than that. It’s a global Italian symbol, as Mini is a global British symbol and the Beetle is a global German symbol. Lapo Elkann
Beetle is the embodiment of everybody’s resistance to authority, all the rules and regulations which you’ve got to follow. He deals with it in his own way. And in a way, it’s sort of what I did when I was in the Army. I just oftentimes did what I wanted to do. Mort Walker
In the sago palms, you’ll often find sago beetles which are about the size of your little finger. The Karowai put those on the fire until they’re crispy and eat them. They taste a little bit like creamy snails. But compared to sago, the sago beetle is really pretty good. Tim Cahill
I had a great time investigating the pigments of different mutant fruit flies by following experimental protocols published in Scientific American, and I also remember making my own beetle collection when it was still acceptable to make such collections. Paul Nurse
Most people are sort of against authority. Here’s Beetle always challenging authority. I think people relate to it. Mort Walker
Read enough about the dung beetle, and a picture of its character emerges: patient, optimistic, uncomplaining. Elif Batuman
I liked the old comic books, especially the funny ones like ‘Popeye’ and ‘Beetle Bailey.’ Ruskin Bond
