{{work|wppage=Barney Google and Snuffy Smith}}
'''''Snuffy Smith''''' is a newspaper comic about a hillbilly community. It originally began on June 17, 1919 as ''Take Barney Google, F'rinstance'', but once the Smith clan was introduced, Barney was eventually written out in favor of the more-popular Smith. The official name of the strip remains ''Barney Google and Snuffy Smith'', even though the former character hasn't been a regular character for at least 50 years.
The Smith clan is:
Line 7:
* Jughaid, the oldest son. Usually seen in a coonskin cap.
* Tater, the baby.
This is one of the longest of the [[Print Long Runners|Newspaper Comics Long Runners]] in North America - only ''[[Gasoline Alley]]'' and ''[[The Katzenjammer Kids]]'' have longer uninterrupted runs. (And if ''Snuffy Smith'' continues its uninterrupted run until July 8, 2027, it will surpass ''[[The Katzenjammer Kids]]''. It will always be a half-year younger than ''[[Gasoline Alley]]'' until such time as one or the other stops running new strips.)
