Snuffy Smith Comic Strip Crossovers!

by John Rose

I have mentioned before in this blog how much I enjoy comic strip crossovers! They are so fun to read and even more fun to create.  Here are a few recent ones I’ve seen that featured Snuffy Smith and family.

This bee-yoo-ti-ful December, 2016 Hi and Lois Sunday comic strip featued many cartoon character crossovers, including Jughaid Smith (and Snuffy’s leg) in the fifth panel!  How many other crossover characters can you spot in this great strip by the talented creative team at the Hi and Lois comic strip?

Last September, what an honor and surprise it was for me to see Snuffy alongside Beetle Bailey and Sluggo in the Nancy comic strip by the multi-talented Guy Gilchrist!

When I saw Snuffy in Guy’s strip, I decided to return the favor!  So, in January, I had Guy himself show up in my Barney Google and Snuffy Smith comic strip.  Besides being a cartoonist, Guy is also a musician and he lives in Nashville.  I thought this gag was a perfect fit for him to show up in Hootin’ Holler!
