Barney Google’s way of living is based on Mark Twains old saying ”Don't do today what can be done tomorrow.” The reader gets to share the character’s life wisdoms and his blunt intellect, combined with home-distilling, poaching and poker playing, all in true hillbilly fashion.
With 55 years of exposure in the daily papers, Barney Google and Snuffy Smith is one of the longest-running comic strips in history.
