The strip's central dynamic was a classic clash of opposites. Smudge's main rival was the prim, proper, and perpetually clean Percival Primm. While Smudge dove headfirst into mud puddles, Percival flinched at the mere thought of dirt, creating a comedic tension that was the hallmark of many storylines. The supporting cast added to the humor, including Smudge's long-suffering Mum and a variety of bizarre pets, most notably a bipedal creature completely covered in mud named Spludge. The art style, courtesy of John Geering, was energetic and expressive, perfectly capturing Smudge's anarchic spirit.
