I always wondered why Beetle stuck around Camp Swampy, subjecting himself to constant beatings at the hand of his superior officer, left as a pile of cracked bones and bruised limbs.  I always pictured him snapping one day, and finishing off Sarge in one fell swoop.

It looks like he’s decided to take the high road here, and simply desert the Army without retaliating against his tormentor.  Sarge’s crack about ‘Get-Up-And-Go’ was the last straw.  He’s packed his bags, and from the looks of it, he’s decided to join Archie and the gang in Riverdale.
