Geech is an American comic strip, drawn by Jerry Bittle. The strip showcased the eccentricities and foibles of people in small town America. The title character is a lazy and unsuccessful, accident prone mechanic at a gas station. Other characters include Merle, the owner and mechanic at the gas station where Geech works; Ruby, a red haired waitress who is always looking for a man; Ruby's friend, Nadine; Artie, a lazy heavy-set man with a recessed hairline and glasses who cannot seem to do anything right; and The Reverend, an older clergyman who is as smart-mouthed as everyone else in the comic strip.

Production of the comic strip ended with the death of the artist in 2003. Reruns of the strip continue in some papers as "Geech Classics".
