“Barney Google & Snuffy Smith” is by far the older of the two. But as the title suggests, “Barney Google & Snuffy Smith” has gone through many changes over the years. I started reading it back in the early 50s when Fred Lasswell (sp?) was still drawing it and it was pretty much like it is today by then. Barney Google was a googlie-eyed owner of a race horse named Spark Plug … but he hasn’t appeared in the strip for many, many years.
Snuffy Smith is over on dailyink.com. They run the current ones and in the vintage area, ones from the 1930s (as they do for several other strips). It’s interesting to look at how the characters were originally drawn as opposed to how they look today. Loweezy is the most remarkable change.

Says something for society where a man’s main attraction is his car. And here I thought women just went along with man’s infatuation.
