First saw the word "foo" in a comic strip called Smokey Stover.
The word "FOO" appeared everywhere and (as I recall) there was
a cat in every panel.

Smokey Stover was about a fireman and his wife. My favorite
(remember, it was about 20+ years ago) strip was when he talked
about his wife's great new dietwhere she always knew how fattening
a meal was. She sat in a giant grocery scale at the dinner table.

FOO.
