I don't think I've ever seen Beetle Bailey go in for such joke-free sentimentality before. We get this sort of thing in sister comic Hi and Lois from time to time, so maybe Mort Walker Inc. just made a mistake and this strip was supposed to feature Trixie and Dawg. In any event, I'm oddly fond of it, even if the artwork can't really match the sentiment.

Great date conversation, there, Beetle.
