Last week we saw “Barefoot Barlow” make an appearance in Barney Google and Snuffy Smith. Here’s another strip in which he shows up, from May 4, 1971.

That looks like a horrid place to try to walk even if shod (and those spikes would go right through a shoe sole). If you can’t go barefoot, that’s a hint that the area needs to be taken better care of.

Turns out I blogged it a while ago.
I Wish These Folks Would Make at least Some Sense.
And I even see my caustic comment after your 2012 post. We go about in circles. There is nothing new under the Sun, and the stupidity will be eternal.
Ain’t that the truth.
“If you can’t go barefoot, that’s a hint that the area needs to be taken better care of.”
I so agree, shoes aren’t the solution to a mess, cleaning up the mess is the solution.
