I LOVE Smokey … corny and surreal - a great combination. Couldn’t wait to see him in the Sunday funnies when I was a kid. I’m sure I missed half of Holman’s jokes.

Same for me! Lots of great new words and idiomatic phrases coined in this strip. They were so catchy lots of people used them in everyday speech.
