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:
- 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].
- Character Song: "Barney Google (with the Goo-Goo-Googly Eyes)".
- 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.
- Literal-Minded: In one comic, Snuffy lands a Precision F-Strike when asked to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, then lampshades this trope after being reprimanded:
 |
Snuffy: Consarn it, Judge, you're the one who told me to swear! |
 |
- Long Runners: Has been running for a century.
- Name and Name: Officially, at least...
- ↑ As in, 1997 and then 2012 "occasional".
