''Toots and Casper'' was a [[PrintLongRunners long-running]] family {{newspaper comic|s}} created by cartoonist Jimmy Murphy. It was distributed by Creator/KingFeaturesSyndicate between 1918 and 1956.
It centered on the eponymous newlyweds, blonde beauty Toots and her smaller and somewhat older husband Casper. The family was rounded out by their son Buttercup (born in 1920) and their pet dog Spare-Ribs, who often participated in dog races.
Initially a "gag-a-day" comic, by the late 1920s the strip began developing story-lines that lasted for months featuring the couple's close circle, including their neighbors the Hoofers as well as Casper's millionaire uncle Everett Chuckle and Toots' Uncle Abner.
