Panels from Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 2/16/25

Now, I joke a lot that the only real industries in Hootin' Holler are moonshining, chicken theft, and (Doc Pritairt only) Medicaid fraud. However, obviously it's realistic that some of its inhabitants toil in the dirty and dangerous extractive industries that power the flatlanders' cities. A few dare to dream of ascending to management positions, only to be laughed at for their rustic diction by the city slickers until they give up. You can understand why Snuffy and Lukey don't even bother trying!
