Floyd Lawson is the owner of Floyd's Barber Shop in Mayberry. Floyd the Barber (as he was commonly known) was the slow-paced, somewhat absent-minded barber in the fictional town of Mayberry. He was first seen in Stranger in Town, where he was played by actor Walter Baldwin. Baldwin established the running gag of Floyd's inability to trim sideburns evenly, which continued throughout the run of the show.

Andy is forced by the town council of Mayberry to evict Frank Myers (portrayed by Andy Clyde), the poorest man in town, for failure to pay his taxes. Andy and Frank discover that Frank has an old bond issued by the town worth nearly $350,000. This problem is that the town has nowhere near enough funds to pay Frank. Suddenly, the same people who wanted to evict him can't do enough for him, including renovating his house.

Two volumes of Andy Griffith comic books were published by Dell Comics in the 1960's. Opie Taylor appears as a blonde, instead of a redhead, possibly because the show was broadcast in black-and-white at that time and the artists simply had to guess his hair color.
