DeBeck is truly a master of comic strips, and his stories always leave readers unable to put them down—I'm sure you'll feel the same way. His comic strip "Barney Gogol" is named after its main character, a little man with big round eyes, a mustache, gloves, a top hat, a prominent nose, and a fondness for smoking cigars.
After "Barney Gogol" began its serialization, its primary readership—male readers—immediately recognized its uniqueness and became captivated by it. When this 29-year-old cartoonist showcased his wit and humor, the popularity of his work reached fever pitch. In the smoking carriage of a train, countless cigars glowed red, and almost everyone held a newspaper, which featured the cigar-smoking Barney Gogol.
