Al Smith (March 21, 1902 – November 24, 1986) was an American cartoonist whose work included a long run on the comic strip Mutt and Jeff.
Comics historian R.

Harvey postulates that Smith's nearly 50-year on the strip may be a world record for longevity.
Smith (and later his family members) also ran a comic strip syndication service — mainly serving weekly newspapers — from the 1950s until the late 1990s.
