A cross between the work of George Herriman and Will Elder, Smokey Stover presented the misadventures of a firefighter in a small town. But it was best known for its absurd humor, including oddball vehicles, bizarre household items, puns, background gags and ever-changing pictures on the walls, as well as the mysterious preponderance of the word "foo."
