Good Time Guy is a humorous syndicated comic strip that was distributed by Metropolitan Newspaper Service from June 27, 1927, to December 6, 1930.[1]
It was begun by prolific screenwriter William Conselman under the pen name of Frank Smiley, and well-established artist Mel Cummin.[2] Cummin was succeeded the following year by Dick Huemer (1928–29), who was in turn followed by Fred Fox (1929).
Ron Goulart wrote of Good Time Guy in his book The Funnies:
Conselman's script was dense with "puns and complicated word-play".[3] There was a strong element of serendipity in the strip, with Green's naive missteps leading unexpectedly into good fortune.
