The stories

“Up a Tree”

On bivouac, Sarge builds a comfortable treehouse for himself to watch the men from above. So comfortable is the treehouse that General Halftrack takes it for himself.

“Stomach Story”

Faced with the dilemma of completing Captain Scabbard's report or having lunch first, Sarge opts for the mess hall. He quickly comes back for seconds and tells Cookie the horror story of when he once dieted.

“What a Gas”

Beetle glues together the loose seams on his gas mask, resulting in Sarge getting the mask stuck on his face.

“All in Fun”

Sarge expects that Beetle's typical "friendly game of cards" will take its usual unfriendly turn, and he is right.
