Beetle Bailey: Sarge shouldn't squeeze his toothpaste till he's fully awake!

On the surface, this is a comic about toothpaste on people's heads, ha ha.

But dig a little deeper. As Beetle notes, Sarge is still asleep. As such, it's entirely possible that this whole scenario is, in fact, one of Sarge's dreams. And dreams often take the form of metaphor. So here we are in the dreaming mind of Sarge, a self-loathing, deeply repressed, closeted gay man, holding a cylindrical "tube" and spraying a stream of "toothpaste" all over his coworkers' OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY.

NO, LOOK, TOOTHPASTE ON PEOPLE'S HEADS HA HA HA.
