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.
Ron Goulart wrote of Good Time Guy in his book The Funnies: This one was about a hefty, freckle-faced small town young man, a 'well-meaning bumpkin,' with 'a heart as big as a pumpkin, only softer.'
Guy had two big ambitions: 'To see everyone has a good time and to give uke lessons in Hawaii.'
[4] There was a strong element of serendipity in the strip, with Green's naive missteps leading unexpectedly into good fortune.
