he was also an Alum of the University of Missouri at Columbia. One of his favorite hangout places was a place called The Shack smack in the middle of campus

Literally it was a shack with a beer bar old school pinball machines and decent food. The place started out as a Model T sandwich Truck back in the 1920's and evolved into the "run down" Shack pictured on this site
https://muarchives.missouri.edu/beetle-four.html

After The Shack shut down and the Univ. took over the property they erected a statue of Beetle Bailey sitting at a Shack Booth
https://muarchives.missouri.edu/beetle-two.html

The Shack died a horrible death by an unknown/undetermined origin fire in 1988. Those who got to experience it NEVER will forget THE SHACK
The place was great and I miss it.
