Wrong homophone


* IronicEcho: Not quite exact, but Sarge tells Corporal Yo to lie to General Halftrack about going to the Pentagon to find a dog when Sarge is actually going to go to a baseball game. Thanks to their conversation [[EngineeredPublicConfession being heard by Halftrack on the phone]] while Beetle was searching for Sarge, several soldiers ruffed up Sarge and asks Halftrack (who ended up stealing Sarge's seat) where they should take Sarge, and Halftrack orders them to "take [Sarge] to the Dog Pound at the Pentagon."

* ReassignedToAntarctica: It's all but implied that Camp Swampy is the U.S. Army's dumping ground for soldiers who are too incompetent, lazy, or misfit for the frontlines, but not to the point of being discharged. Part of this contributes to why nobody but those assigned to Camp Swampy (and the top brass unfortunate enough to be placed in charge of it) [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield actually know where Camp Swampy is]].
--> ''Top Secret?''\\
''Top Shame.''

%%* [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Where the Hell Is * WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Nobody but those who are assigned to Camp Swampy?]]Swampy (besides a few of the high brass who are unfortunate enough to have to oversee it) know where it is actually located. Apparently, the reason for this is not because that information is classified, but because the Army is literally ''too embarassed to publicly divulge its location''.

Off Model is a definition-only page now.


* OffModel: There are some old longer album strips that don't look like they were drawn by Mort Walker at any stage of the comic's ArtEvolution. The art quality is slightly worse than the norm besides just looking generally different.

Added DiffLines:

* FrustratedOverheadScribble: Sergeant Orville Snorkel will have an ugly squiggle float above his head as an indicator that he's in a foul mood. Since Private Bailey is a BrilliantButLazy slacker, his sergeant often gets frustrated with him, so this squiggle often heralds a BigBallOfViolence beatdown.
