and drawn by Greg Walker:

"Mort [Walker]'s oldest son, Greg Walker, was entering his mid-20s, and had already done some freelance writing for Gold Key (Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right) and Charlton (Underdog art, Barney and Betty Rubble scripts) when he got the assignment to launch Sarge Snorkel, the singular Beetle Bailey comic book spin-off (well, to be technical, aside from Hi and Lois), which he wrote and drew for all 17 issues. 'Sometimes I would work more closely with my dad on the covers,' he told the author."
