Back in May on this blog, I shared some vintage newspaper ads featuring Snuffy Smith. On occasion Snuffy and the gang have been featured in magazine ads, as well. Today I thought I’d share a few more recent magazine ads from my tenure on the strip that have featured Snuffy.
This Full-Page back cover magazine ad ran in Cartoonist PROfiles #146 in 2005. It honored the creator and longtime editor of the magazine, Jud Hurd, and featured many of King Features wonderful comic strip characters, including Snuffy Smith.
This Half-Page back cover magazine ad ran in Charlton Spotlight #9 in 2015. It promoted King Features’ Comics Kingdom website.
This Full-Page magazine ad ran in Hogan’s Alley #22 in 2019. It promoted some special King Features comic strip birthdays in 2019, which was the 100th birthday of Barney Google And Snuffy Smith.
