Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for November 19, 2018

Is that a fact?

You’re seven months early, Snuffy …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Google_and_Snuffy_Smith

If your strip is still going Snuffy, what are you doing here?

Barney Google, he’s got a case for having moved in…

In Snuffy Smith’s case, it seems more like 200!

Gotta admit, I am disappointed. This celebration is not working out the way I had hoped. We seem to be going off the rails yet again.

Celebrate in your own strip, Snuffy. NEXT YEAR.

This episode has become a real tour de force.

Did he say Yardbirds? “For your love, for your love!”

know snuffy was still going but was not sure about barny google

What can I say? Snuffy loves an audience! I’m glad that SOMEONE’S acknowledging Barney Google’s 100th Birthday!

Snuffy may be hitting the jug a bit much (‘agin’), but he shouldn’t be taking the limelight away from GA and Walt!!!

Ok, I’m hearing SOMEBODY (from a TV comedy show) saying “Barney Google. With those Goog-goog-googley eyes.” Perhaps John Astin in “Night Court”? Anybody else know the reference?

I’m with Barney! How long is this tribute going to drone on?

Snuffy can be at two places at once. He was also at Hootin’ Hollar today.

Barney & Spark Plug make week-long guest appearances when they visit Snuffy’s mountain town of Hootin’ Holler twice annually.

50 years ago, I could not understand why they called the strip Barney Google when it was about Snuffy Smith and his family.
