I have no pictures of the real Smith and Jones, who used to live in the house next door to me when I was a kid, but they were both cross eyed pedigree Siamese cats.
This is very much what the real Smith looked like - he had that oriental look and a pair of bright blue, subtly off-beam eyes...
...While this is how I remember Jones. Rather than the pale chocolate point I depict her as in the cartoon, she was actually a seal tabby point. Having to draw in those complicated tabby markings would have meant she would have lost clarity around the face once the cartoons were reduced to 600 dpi wide as GoGomics require.
