Barney Google

Since Google took over the world and changed everyone's life (mind you, I am writing this using Google's Blogger, hoping that Google will index my pages one of these days), there has been a lot of talk about the meaning of the word "Google." But very few people seem to mention Barney Google, the comic strip hero from the first half of the 20th century.


Here is Barney Google in a Tijuana Bible, talking to a "lady."


This is a sample frame from the comic strip Barney Google and Snuffy Smith.


And this is the front cover of Barney Google Fox Trot.
