High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, originally Barney Google, is a long-running American comic strip, created June 17, 1919 by Billy DeBeck, which gained a huge international readership in 21 countries and 900 newspapers. It added names and phrases to the English language, generated merchandising and licensing products and was adapted to films. The initial appeal of the strip led to the popular 1923 song, "Barney Google (With the Goo-Goo-Googly Eyes)," with lyrics by Billy Rose. When the strip began, its title character, a little fellow with big eyes, was a sportsman involved in horse racing and boxing. In 1922, the strip took a huge turn in popularity with the addition of a race horse named Spark Plug, a nag who seldom raced and was typically seen almost totally covered by his horse blanket. During this period, the strip was titled Barney Google and Spark Plug.
