Character

Aristotle Anaximenes Heraclitus Papagelis

Description

Private Plato is the intellectual and philosophical member of the Camp Swampy platoon in Mort Walker's Beetle Bailey comic strip, which began syndication in 1950. Named after the Greek philosopher, he provides a comically erudite contrast to the lazy or dim-witted soldiers around him and is often shown pursuing scholarly interests at odds with military life. He has appeared across Beetle Bailey's long run as one of the recurring members of the Camp Swampy roster.
