The youngest characters could be in their early 20s, including Beetle Bailey himself, while the oldest characters could be in their late 60s or even older, such as General Halftrack or Sergeant Snorkel.
2. In Beetle Bailey, there is a higher representation of males compared to females. The majority of the main characters in the comics are male, including Beetle himself, General Halftrack, Sergeant Snorkel, and other soldiers. However, there are a few notable female characters like Miss Buxley and General Halftrack's wife, Martha.
3. In the comics, there is not a significant focus on racial or ethnic diversity. The majority of characters in Beetle Bailey appear to be Caucasian. While there might be some background characters or occasional appearances of characters from different racial or ethnic backgrounds, they are not prominent or regular enough to suggest diversity as a significant theme in the comics.
4. Beetle Bailey portrays a variety of economic classes to some extent. The main focus is on the military setting, with soldiers often depicted as working-class or middle-class individuals. However, there are occasional appearances of affluent characters, such as General Halftrack, who represents a higher economic class. While the representation of different economic classes is not extensive, it does show some diversity within the context of the comic strip.
