"But I thought you'd like it as a--
OH MY GOD! TOD, SOMEONE HAS STOLEN YOUR ASS!"
Just when you think you've got a handle on this comic, it throws you a curve:
It's not just the story of how Tod became Super Green Beret, it's also the story of how Roger became J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.
Here the artist decided, "I'm gonna draw the greatest transformation scene ever! It'll be even better than when Jerry Lewis became the Nutty Professor!"
(several hours of slaving over the drawing board pass)
"There! It's done! My masterpiece! A toast, to me!"
"AAAHHH!! I spilled my bourbon all over the Bristol board! It's RUINED!
What a TERRIBLE WASTE of good Jim Beam!
Ahh, who cares. It's Tod freakin' Holton."
Amazingly, there is no transformation scene.
"Look, Unk! I'm, I'm talking like Jimmy Stewart! And I'm wearing a uniform! And I've got a milk mustache, what's up with that?!"
Those Green Berets, they...sure are green. Their buttons are green, their belts are green, their rank insignia are green, their underwear is tightie-greenies.
Magic Green Beret fashions by Lucky the Leprechaun.
Actually, take a close look at Tod's belt...
YES! HERE is the transformation scene!
The way you tell the difference between Regular and Super Green Berets is that the Super ones have brown belts!
Sadly, here is the real reason America lost the Viet Nam War:
Tod has the actually intelligent idea of turning the enemy to stone, but Roger reacts with such revulsion at this crime against nature that Tod never, ever thought again of doing it. If he'd only said "All real Viet Cong! Turn to stone!"
Presto, the war would've ended that minute.
Instead, traumatized by Roger's remark, he tried to win the war with magic monkeys.
