Snuffy Smith is a newspaper comic about a hillbilly community. It originally began in the 1930s as Barney Google, 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:
- Snuffy, the patriarch. A thieving moonshiner.
- Loweezy, the matriarch. Is the actual caretaker.
- Jughaid, the oldest son. Usually seen in a coonskin cap.
- Tater, the baby.
Tropes used in Snuffy Smith include:
- Artifact Title: Barney Google and Snuffy Smith has been all-Snuffy, no-Barney for decades.
- According to The Other Wiki, Barney puts in a very occasional reappearance[1].
- Lampshade Hanging: With The Other Google having sprung to prominence in the 2000s, Barney Google's reappearance in 2012 resulted in the sheriff thinking he was supposed to be an internet entrepreneur.
