Hoo-Boy

I really need to quit slackin' for the day, but before I do, I'm requesting some help. I'm trying to remember the name of the comic strip in which nearly every installment had a character saying "Hoo-boy".
The characters were little squat geezers with very pronounced bags under their eyes. They sighed alot and said "Hoo-boy". I don't know whether this strip still exists-- our paper no longer carries it, which means either that it's occasionally funny (thereby disqualifying it from inclusion in our Funny Pages) or no longer exists.
Help!
Hoo-boy.

Funky Winkerbean?

I believe you are thinking of "Snuffy Smith"; they also had big, bulbous, presumably red noses and always seemed as if they were drunk on moonshine.

Although Funky Winkerbean is very fun to say, that's not it. And Snuffy Smith would never say "Hoo Boy". Maybe "consarn it". But I'm glad to see you've found a hobby, Mr. Bolton.
I remembered what the strip was, but I'm not posting it here, as I want to see if anyone guesses it.
